The eastern precinct, Newmarket’s first completed stage, celebrates the site’s landscape and built heritage, combining with new buildings and landscape in a simple masterplan defined by new streets and spaces as an extension to Randwick’s public domain.

The centrally located Inglis Park, by Arcadia Landscape Architects, adapts the heritage Sales Ring into a unique playground under the shade of the famous Moreton Bay Fig. Yarraman Avenue, a new street, wraps the park and precinct’s eastern edge to improve public access and offer future connections to Randwick Girls High School. A central pedestrian axis connects the entire site from north to south: from the Barker Street dining precinct, to Inglis Park, past Newmarket House Childcare Centre, to the State Listed Big Stable.

Six new apartment buildings provide a range of housing typologies from council-owned affordable housing through to larger penthouses. Two architects worked in concert developing their complementary designs, with Newmarket Residences by Bates Smart north of the park, and Figtree Pocket by Smart Design Studio to the south.
