    Central Station is scoring a new hospo and entertainment complex
    including a cinema
    The new-look hub will be named 'Eddy' and it should be open to the
    public by winter 2023

    Central Station is something of a cocoon at present. Barriers and
    wooden sidings hide the works underway to create the new Metro areas
    of the station, including the creation of a new 80-metre tunnel
    connecting Chalmers Street to the Metro platforms, with a few
    tantalising areas of this imminently-emergent butterfly visible to
    commuters in a few quieter corners. But itAs not just the Metro
    extensions that will be transforming SydneyAs largest rail hub in the
    coming months.

    The northern edge of Central Station, by Eddy Avenue and Eddy Avenue
    Plaza, is currently home to convenience stores and tacky souvenir
    shops, but under plans just released by the NSW Government, the
    stretch of the station adjacent to the light rail lines will be
    transformed into a new hospo and entertainment destination. Dubbed
    aEddyA, it will feature art installations, restaurants, bars and
    shops. This major glow-up, which will also include a new cinema, radio
    station and ceramics studio, is one of several major development works
    aimed at revitilising the CBD and its surrounding areas, including the pedestrianisation of George Street and the new three-billion dollar
    tech park being created in Chippendale.

    The transformation of Eddy is expected to take just over a year, with
    works completed by July 2023.
