Our Projects

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Sydney Fish Markets

The new Sydney Fish Market, designed by 3XN with BVN and Aspect Studios, is a major redevelopment project at Blackwattle Bay, relocating the market from Pyrmont. With a revised cost of approximately $836 million, the project features a striking floating timber roof, over 6,000 m² of public space, and upgraded retail, dining, and seafood facilities to accommodate up to 6 million visitors annually. Doorpac have been involved in supplying quality fire-rated fire doors throughout the project. Construction began in 2021, and despite delays, the market is expected to open in early December 2025. The project is generating over 700 construction jobs and aims to enhance harbour access with improved pedestrian, ferry, and cycle links.

INFRASTRUTURE

This upgrade is essential to process the long-haul aircraft, which can carry close to 400 passengers – a large increase to the 180 passengers carried by the domestic fleet.

 

This is a nationally significant project and, combined with the Code E upgrade of the runway, this is a game-changer for the region. With the final piece of the puzzle now secured, Newcastle is moving towards true global connectivity. The terminal will not only offer convenience to travellers who want to fly internationally. It will also drive huge, sustainable economic benefits across the region through inbound tourism and new freight-related industries, including import and export.

INFRASTRUCURE

Construction of the Western Sydney International Airport began in September 2018 and has now wrapped up major elements including the 3.7 km runway, taxiways, airside infrastructure, carparks, roads and the state‑of‑the‑art terminal designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and COX Architecture. 

 

Delivered on budget under Bechtel and Multiplex coordination, these primary packages were completed nearly seven months ahead of schedule, with construction effort representing around 9 million labour hours by more than 2,000 workers.

 

The airport is projected to open for domestic, international and cargo services in late 2026 as Australia’s first greenfield airport in over 50 years

CULTURE

Newcastle Art Gallery has been at the heart of Newcastle's rich arts and cultural history for over forty years. The art gallery expansion project will deliver an additional 1,600 square meters of exhibition space - more than doubling the space to showcase the city's collection and the artists’ most groundbreaking ideas.

 

Construction of the building shell is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2025. This will be followed by a period of commissioning - where the building transforms from a shell to a functional Gallery. The aim is to re-open our doors in 2025 in time for City of Newcastle's flagship arts and culture festival, New Annual.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELPOMENT

205 North Quay is a $600 million development planned to become the first commercial building in Australia to offer tenants a holistic work-life approach.

Designed by Brisbane-based architecture firms Richards & Spence, Hassell, along with New York-based REX, 205 North Quay will offer world-class amenities, including a whole-floor wellness facility, 25-metre lap pool, a 210 seat public realm auditorium, outdoor terraces on every level, and rooftop collaboration and celebration facilities.

 

Upon completion, 205 North Quay will be an incredibly unique and healthy workplace that will evolve with its users into the future and create a new front door to the city, setting an example for others to follow in this exciting burgeoning precinct. It will be a city-shaping project delivering the workplace of the future and providing a clear benchmark for both economic and environmental sustainability.
