Fresh detail about the future of the Kingston Arts Precinct has been revealed in an application to subdivide the site, lodged a decade after the government announced the project.
The agency has applied to create four new blocks around the heritage-registered Kingston Powerhouse to facilitate the development of the arts precinct.
Kurrajong independent Thomas Emerson said it was encouraging to see movement on the project and the government needed to show urgency in bringing it to fruition.
"I understand that, back in late 2015, arts organisations were pushed to make a firm commitment to becoming tenants in the proposed precinct. Ten years and several ball drops later, it's good to see the government finally taking steps toward construction," Mr Emerson said.
"Let's hope the new deadline of finishing construction by 2028 is met - 25 years after the precinct was first conceptualised."
