A plan by a hedge fund millionaire to redevelop parts of Sydney’s South Head national park has been met by fierce local opposition

However, she added “our local community” recognised South Head needed “some love and care”.Watsons Bay Association president Roger Bayliss said residents were “understandably appalled” by the multimillion dollar proposal “as anyone would be who wishes to enjoy their national park area”.

“While he stresses improved access, much of the area is fully accessible and only the South Head trail with steps is otherwise, but building steel bridges over Lady Bay Beach is hardly a solution.” Mr Murray said he has met with NSW Environment Matt Kean, Planning Minister Rob Stokes, Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres and Ms Upton.When asked for his reaction to the plan, Mr Kean referred questions to NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services, which said any proposal needed to be compatible with the local recreational, residential and commercial uses.

A plan to convert the site into a wedding venue was knocked back, but it is expected the government could seek expressions of interest in 2020, with the eight buildings to be leased for up to 40 years.
