White Bay Power Station

The heritage listed White Bay Power Station is one of Sydney’s oldest surviving power stations and has now evolved into an exciting cultural and community space. Constructed between 1912 and 1917, White Bay Power Station was built to power Sydney's tram system and later its rail network. The Power Station quickly became essential to the city's growth, lighting up homes and businesses across Sydney. In 2021, a major investment kicked off the exciting transformation of White Bay Power Station into a lively cultural hotspot. The vision is to create a vibrant hub for the Bays West precinct, drawing visitors from all over Sydney and beyond. Ongoing restoration efforts by Placemaking NSW are breathing new life into this historic site, making it a welcoming space for the community.
