PANEL: Inside the Making of the New Sydney Fish Market

29 Apr 2026
FUTURE AUSTRALIA STAGE

Take a look behind the new Sydney Fish Market through a design and delivery lens. Defined by its expansive floating roof, generous public domain and the coexistence of destination retail with a highly complex working harbour facility, the project tests the boundaries between civic architecture and industrial infrastructure.

Realising this vision demanded inventive technical thinking – tackling challenges from construction above and below water, to advanced prefabrication and environmental performance strategies, plus new ways of keeping out the ever present birdlife.

Join the team behind the building as they unpack the technical innovations and collaborative processes that has shaped one of Sydney’s most ambitious waterfront buildings.
