“Moore Park will continue to offer golf while also providing new amenities including a community sporting field, walking, running and cycling paths and trails and relaxation and picnic areas.” Minns last year vowed to slash nine holes from Moore Park, the closest golf course to Sydney’s central business district, and convert nearly half the 45-hectare site into a park for residents of the nearby suburbs of Green Square, Redfern, Zetland and Waterloo, designed to balance the need for green space with surging residential density. The government says the population within five kilometres of Moore Park South is projected to surge to almost 790,000 residents by 2041. The government intends to reclaim the course’s western boundary and part of the land north of Dacey Avenue for public recreational space, maximising its proximity to nearby units, while retaining a nine-hole course and the operation of the existing 60-bay driving range and clubhouse.
