Moore Park Golf Collective unveils alternative proposal
Proposal to transform Moore Park South into a World-Class Recreational Hub
On Saturday 9th November 2024, the Moore Park Golf Collective, comprising Golf Australia, PGA of Australia, Golf NSW and Moore Park Golf Club, published their alternative proposal to the media. Originally submitted to the NSW Government during its consultation process in April 2024, the proposal supports a growing Sydney and allows for the retention of the much-loved and always busy 18-hole golf course by maximising un-used and under-utilised open space for active and passive recreation and active transport.
The Proposal
The proposal, a testament to the Collective’s commitment to diversity, equality, inclusion and a vision for an innovative and sustainable future, will see several public spaces added to the area, including:
- An adventure playground
- A nature play space
- A dog park
- BBQ and picnic facilities, a fitness trail and terracing located in the best position with spectacular city views
- A football oval
- A skate park and seating
- Half courts and a futsal court
- A BMX pump track and riding zone
- An athletics precinct
- 3 kms of well-connected walking, running and cycling paths
- New environmental spaces for Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub regeneration
- A multi-level 500-space car park cleverly built into the landscape
- A reduced par-68 18-hole public golf course allowing local, state and national competitions to continue
- Mini golf course, a practice putting green and a practice chipping area
- A shortened high-tech driving range with more bays
Bio-diversity
The Collective is also working to build climate resilience and biodiversity by creating revegetation areas throughout the course for the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS). Undertaken with IndigiGrow, a social enterprise from First Hand Solutions Aboriginal Corporation, sustaining people, land and culture through the propagation and growing of native plants, the initiative will promote environmental sustainability and continue conservation efforts.
