Moore Park Golf Course Announces Bold Expansion Plan

The Moore Park Golf Collective, a consortium of golfing bodies, has announced an ambitious proposal to transform Moore Park South into a multi-faceted recreational and sporting hub.

This alternative plan aims to cater to Sydney’s growing population while preserving the popular 18-hole golf course. The proposal prioritises the maximisation of under-utilised open space to create diverse recreational areas.

A Park for Everyone

The vision includes a variety of public amenities such as an adventure playground, nature play space, dog park, barbecue and picnic facilities, a fitness trail with scenic city views, a football oval, skate park, half and futsal courts, a BMX pump track, an athletics precinct, and a network of walking, running and cycling paths spanning 3 kilometres.

Additionally, the plan incorporates new environmental spaces dedicated to regenerating the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub.

Sustainable Solutions

Sustainability is a key focus, with the proposal incorporating a cleverly designed 500-space carpark built into the landscape. This not only addresses parking concerns but also aims to minimise the environmental footprint.

Preserving the Golf Course Legacy

The Moore Park Golf Collective emphasises preserving the iconic Moore Park Golf Course, a highly utilised public facility. The plan outlines a redesigned 18-hole course, par-68, allowing local, state and national competitions to continue. Additional golfing facilities include a mini-golf course, practice putting and chipping areas, and a modernised driving range with increased capacity.

Community Hub & Economic Benefits

This master plan positions Moore Park South as a vibrant community hub, catering to diverse recreational interests. The proposal also highlights the economic benefits, including significant job creation in various sectors and the continued operation of the thriving golf academy, which offers lessons for all ages and skill levels.
