A joint venture has been signed between construction and development group Built and Liverpool City Council. The $400m Liverpool Civic Place project will be located at 52 Scott Street and is set to transform the Liverpool CBD.

A development application for the masterplan designed by architect FJMT, was lodged last week. It provides new public spaces, community facilities and job opportunities with all the amenities needed to live, work, study & play all within the Liverpool CBD.

“Liverpool Civic Place will anchor and activate the southern end of the Liverpool City Centre through a mix of uses, providing new public spaces, community facilities and job opportunities for our growing city,”  Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller said.

This is a list of the components of the development proposal:

• 17,000m2 commercial office building which will house Council’s new office facilities
• A new central Liverpool City Library and community hub
• A childcare centre
• University of Wollongong South Western Sydney campus space
• A new civic plaza fronted by retail facilities
• Council and public parking
• A hotel (approximately 126 rooms)
• Hotel parking

Subject to approval processes and obtaining development consent, construction is expected to commence in early 2020 and take two to three years to complete.
