Located in Sydney’s inner western suburb of Rozelle, the NSW State heritage-listed WBPS – Sydney’s longest serving metropolitan power station – was constructed in 1917 to power the city’s tram system, later the train system, and then the electricity grid in 1958. Forty years ago in 1984, the site was decommissioned and subsequently heritage-listed in 1999.
The restoration and rebuilding of the White Bay Power Station has been officially completed by FDC, marking the finish of a 40-year journey from electrical facility to cultural institution.
An adaptive reuse project converting a power station into a community centre is included in Dezeen's latest school show by students at the University of New South Wales.
