The city is working with the New South Wales Government, Sydney Water and UrbanGrowth, and has appointed Danish architect Jan Gehl to advise on the project.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said that Green Square is Australia’s biggest urban renewal project and the city is working to ensure it’s a beautiful, sustainable and well-functioning neighbourhood.

"Once it’s complete it will completely transform the southern part of our city," Moore said.

"Now we have enlisted world-renowned urban designer Jan Gehl to provide advice on how we can make sure the public areas and facilities we are building complement the apartments, offices and shops the private sector is constructing."

The Green Square Town Centre is expected to be completed by 2030.

As part of the project, Crown Group has unveiled the design for a 20-storey tower designed by Koichi Takada Architects, which will feature 416 apartments and 5,000m² of retail and restaurant space.

The company will seek approval for the project in May, with work expected to commence early next year.
