Sydney Olympic Park is known internationally as a world-class sporting and event precinct. Sydney Olympic Park is also a highly suitable location to plan for new jobs, homes and services.
Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) has prepared a master plan and rezoning proposal to support the growth of Sydney Olympic Park.
Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan 2050
Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan 2050 was on exhibition for public feedback until 5pm Friday 29 November 2024.
Master Plan 2050 replaces the previously approved Master Plan 2030. The updated Master Plan 2050 revises and builds on the 2030 Plan, leveraging the opportunity presented by new transport infrastructure, Sydney Metro West, the proposed Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 and potential rapid bus network, to deliver a total of up to 13,000 homes and 32,000 jobs.
Master Plan 2050 represents a significant change in direction for Sydney Olympic Park, from a precinct known for sports and events, to a thriving urban community.
The land use approach developed for Master Plan 2050 proposes a series of residential neighbourhoods, precincts and parklands, together delivering more housing and greater affordability, generating activity and employment, and providing green spaces to support local and regional biodiversity and ensure opportunities for active and passive recreation.
Master Plan 2050 ensures that a coordinated, long term development plan is prepared for the whole of Sydney Olympic Park and outlines detailed precinct controls to guide sustainable growth. It proposes updated planning controls for the area to deliver a range of facilities, services, and spaces in support of the population projected to be living and visiting Sydney Olympic Park.

What has happened
Sydney Olympic Park Master Plan 2030 (Interim Metro Review)
The Master Plan 2030 (Interim Metro Review) was required to enable a new integrated metro station and precinct development. This included:
- changes to land use and planning controls to integrate the Sydney Metro West station into the Central Precinct of Sydney Olympic Park
- a new pedestrian plaza linking the Metro Station to Olympic Boulevard
- a bus interchange on Figtree Drive
- changes to the street network to improve access to the Metro station
- changes to connect the Central Urban Park to the Abattoir Precinct.
Proposed changes were on exhibition in late 2021. All submissions and feedback received during exhibition were considered and the amendment was finalised in July 2022.
Place Vision and Strategy
Simultaneously, work commenced on a new Place Vision and Strategy for Sydney Olympic Park which leveraged the Metro opportunity to position Sydney Olympic Park as a preferred location to live, work, discover, and play. This was a precursor to a more comprehensive master plan review and the development of the new Master Plan 2050.
