Olympic Village
Project Name:
Olympic Village
Client Agency:
Sydney Olympic Park Authority
(which took over from Olympic Coordination Authority on 17 July 2001)
Project Description:
The Olympic Village Project involved the following:
- A 90 hectare site design, constructed and configured to accommodate 15,300 Olympic athletes and team officials in a mixture of permanent, temporary and relocatable housing
- During the Paralympics the Village accommodated up to 7,500 athletes, team officials and media and technical officials, with about 1,500 of these athletes and officials living in wheelchair-accessible dwellings
- After the Paralympics the village’s permanent dwellings were reconfigured for normal residential use, its temporary dwellings removed and other Olympic and Paralympic facilities within the village reconfigured for community use
- A mixture of single and multiple unit dwellings was sold to the public. Money from the sale of Village properties was shared between the private consortium and Government in accordance with pre-agreed formulae in the agreement
- The Olympic Village project delivered the world’s most environmentally advanced mainstream residential development, providing a model for similarly environmentally friendly residential development.
Current Status:
On 17 April 1997, the Government signed the Project Delivery Agreement with Mirvac Lend Lease Village Consortium. After the Olympics the Village was re-configured for normal residential and community use
