The historic White Bay Power Station is located in the heart of the Bays West area in the Inner West suburb of Rozelle (near Balmain) and it is a focal point in transformation of the Bays West precinct. The state heritage-listed building was built from 1912 to 1917, and operated right up until it was decommissioned in 1984. It happens to be Sydney's oldest surviving power station, and it still holds equipment and machinery that predates the 1950s, with the site's recent refurbishment preserving much of its original fixtures.
