Area 3 : Food & Culture

Future Character Statement

Protect and celebrate fine grain, vibrant character, small lot size and active street life

Food and Culture Area includes Bankstown City Plaza, Saigon Place, the Arts Centre and its neighbouring Griffith Park. Its bustling street life and the diverse food culture is renowned in Sydney. Sydneysiders travel regionally to savor the cuisines that Saigon Place has to offer and attend the events from the Arts Centre.

The fine grain, small lot and vibrant character of Saigon Place and City Plaza is to be protected and celebrated. Street markets are partially permitted in public domain and upper storeys are encouraged for small businesses.

This Master plan proposes largely no change to built form in this area. However, Council is investigating a stand alone Master Plan for Griffith Park to upgrade the park and further expand this Food & Culture precinct.
