The NSW Liberals and Nationals will move to protect the full 18-hole Moore Park Golf Course when Parliament resumes in August, as opposition grows to the Minns Labor Government\u2019s plan to cut the course to 12 holes.
\u00a0
The Opposition will move amendments to the Greater Sydney Parklands Bill 2026 requiring all reasonable steps be taken to retain the 18-hole course.
\u00a0
More than 32,000 people have signed an online petition opposing the Government\u2019s proposal to reduce the course.
\u00a0
Leader of the Opposition Kellie Sloane said the Minns Labor Government had ignored a sensible compromise that would have delivered more public green space while preserving the full golf course.
\u00a0
“Labor had the opportunity to take a win-win compromise put forward by golfers, instead it has ignored common sense and pressed ahead with a plan that satisfies no one,” Ms Sloane said.
\u00a0
\u201cThe NSW Liberals and Nationals are listening to the thousands of people who want to protect this iconic public course and we’ll take that fight to Parliament.\u201d
\u00a0
Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Chris Rath said Labor should back the amendment.
\u00a0
\u201cMoore Park is one of Sydney\u2019s most popular and affordable golf courses, not an exclusive private golf club. Labor wants to lock golfers out, but we will be legislating protections to stop them,\u201d Mr Rath said.
\u00a0
\u201cA petition with more than 32,000 signatures against the Moore Park South Establishment Plan is a clear sign that not enough has been done to get the community on board. We\u2019re calling on Chris Minns to hit the pause button on this project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
