About Placemaking NSW
Placemaking NSW creates, manages, and cares for many of Sydney’s unique iconic harbourside locations. Placemaking NSW helps strengthen the connection between these places and the people that share them, in turn generating significant benefits for the people of NSW. Its precincts include The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Luna Park, Ballast Point Park, waterfront areas in Pyrmont and Bays West, as well as unique venues such as the Chinese Garden of Friendship and major event facilities at the International Convention Centre and White Bay Power Station.
Placemaking NSW is the trading name of Place Management NSW (PMNSW). Its functions are to protect and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the Sydney foreshore area; promote and secure the orderly and economic development and use of the foreshore area; and promote and conduct cultural, educational, commercial, tourist, recreational, entertainment and transport activities and facilities.
Within the precincts, Placemaking NSW manages major ground leases as well as commercial and retail leases and provides facilities and asset management services. It also manages parks, wharves, and boardwalks at Pyrmont and is responsible for leases, licences and market stall holders in The Rocks.
PMNSW is subject to the control and direction of the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces in the exercise of its functions.
The Board Roles
The PMNSW Board and the Placemaking NSW Advisory Committee provide strategic advice and guidance on PMNSW’s strategic direction, management and performance. The Board and Committee consist of seven Members, appointed by the Minister with Cabinet endorsement, and they serve concurrently as Members of the Board and Committee.
The Chairperson is responsible for providing leadership and direction to the Board and Committee. The Board and Committee’s membership comprises: the Chief Executive Officer of PMNSW (ex-officio); the Secretary of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure or a person nominated by the Secretary (ex-officio); not more than 5 persons appointed by the Minister; and of the Members appointed by the Minister, one is to be appointed by the Minister as Chairperson.
It is anticipated that initial terms will be for a 2 or 3 year period. Terms are expected to commence in November 2025.
The Board currently meets between 6 - 9 times per year in a mix of face-to-face and online sessions.
