The Eddy Avenue Plaza at the northern edge of Central Station is about to undergo a huge transformation with features that will make it comparable to that of the Spice Alley in Chippendale.

Like the popular Spice Alley, Eddy Avenue Plaza will feature beautiful street art and an array of restaurants, bars, and shops that will soon make it as one of Sydney’s newest entertainment precincts.
This comes after Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport Rob Stokes announced the Central precinct renewal program, as part of the revitalisation of Sydney’s CBD.
“Eddy Avenue and Eddy Avenue Plaza will be known as ‘EDDY’, a destination instead of a thoroughfare which rivals the likes of Parramatta’s Eat Street or Chippendale’s Spice Alley,” said Mr Stokes.
The plaza currently accommodates a few dining establishments and cafes. However, the existing facilities have remained largely ‘under-utlised.’
Central Station, which occupies a significant corner at Eddy Avenue and Pitt Street, is characterised by a number of existing heritage features including the iconic Sydney Terminal Building.
The EDDY precinct will be rebranded to mark a new era for the Tech Central Precinct as it becomes a world-class interchange with innovative and diverse businesses that attracts thousands of new jobs to the CBD.
“We’re planning to bring Eddy Avenue and Eddy Plaza back to life through new retail and cultural activities to enhance public spaces and create a vibrant place for all communities to enjoy,” the Transport for NSW announced.
Transport for NSW is now encouraging businesses who are interested in leasing an available shop at Central Station to engage with JLL-Sydney, the agency handling the lease for Central Railway Station.
