In the face of increasing need for public open space, the City is asking:

Is an 18 hole golf course still the best use of inner city parkland?

We are proposing that the Moore Park Golf Course, which occupies 45 hectares of public land, be converted from 18 holes to 9 – retaining the larger area of land, clubhouse, depots, parking and the popular driving range. https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/vision-setting/creating-more-public-parkland-reconfiguring-moore-park-golf-course

Creating more public parkland by reconfiguring Moore Park Golf Course - City of Sydney

The 18-hole golf course covers 45ha of public land – similar to Sydney Park. With an increasing need for open space, we’re asking if the golf course is the best use of public land.

This remaining land would return up to 20 hectares of land to Moore Park for public recreation – critically needed now and for future communities.

The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces will make a decision about the future of the course following public consultation.

If you support the proposal for increased parkland, we need to hear from you today. https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/vision-setting/creating-more-public-parkland-reconfiguring-moore-park-golf-course
