Nearly half of the popular Moore Park Golf Course will become a public park.

Moore Park Golf Course will be slashed almost in half, with 20 hectares given over to a new central park, after the current operating agreement expires in 2026.

“When the golf course was first established, the surrounding areas were largely industrial lands,” Minns said. Green Square’s urban renewal area is currently populated by 33,000 residents. The City of Sydney has forecast that 88,000 people will live within two kilometres of Moore Park by 2040.
