SYDNEY’S CATCH OF THE DAY AS NEW SYDNEY FISH MARKET OPENS, REELING IN A WIN FOR JOBS, TOURISM AND LOCAL INDUSTRY
Today marks the official opening of the new Sydney Fish Market, delivering a world-class waterfront destination and a major boost for jobs, tourism and the NSW seafood industry.
The redeveloped Sydney icon was designed and commenced by the former NSW Liberal and Nationals Government, reflecting a long-term vision to modernise NSW’s infrastructure and support economic growth.
The state-of-the-art facility is expected to welcome millions of visitors each year, showcasing the very best of Australian seafood, strengthening Sydney’s reputation as a global food and tourism destination, while supporting local businesses and workers.
Today’s opening marks an exciting new chapter for Sydney and reinforces the importance of having a clear plan to invest in infrastructure that delivers long-term benefits.
NSW Opposition Leader, Kellie Sloane, said the new Sydney Fish Market is a huge win for Sydney and for everyone who loves this iconic institution.
“The Sydney Fish Market plays a big part in the life of our city, particularly around major family celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, and now it finally has the world-class home it deserves,” Ms Sloane said.
“This project was started thanks to the clear vision and ambition of the former NSW Liberal and Nationals Government, and it is fantastic to see it open its doors today.
“Under the Minns Labor Government, NSW’s infrastructure pipeline is running dry, with fewer transformational projects and no credible plan to create jobs, drive tourism or lift productivity across NSW.”
NSW Nationals Leader, Gurmesh Singh, highlighted the importance of the new Sydney Fish Market for small business, tourism and the state’s seafood industry.
“The Sydney Fish Market is a renowned attraction and this upgrade is long overdue,” Mr Singh said.
“Today marks a major step forward for seafood producers and the thousands of locals whose livelihoods are linked to this industry.
“This is a win for small business, a win for tourism and a win for NSW.”
Shadow Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Natalie Ward, noted that the new Fish Market is another example how infrastructure investment can improve a city, grow the economy and provide for the community.
“This is what good infrastructure looks like – creating jobs, backing small business and building something the whole city can be proud of,” Ms Ward said.
“Whether it is Sydney Metro, the Art Gallery expansion, major stadium upgrades, hospital projects across the state, or the new Sydney Fish Market, the NSW Liberals and Nationals invested in infrastructure that made people proud to call New South Wales home.”
