In exciting news for the many residents that live around Moore Park, the Minns Labor Government has revealed a plan to transform Moore Park Golf Course into a whopping 20-hectare public park, community green space and golf course. Staged openings will commence before the end of 2026, with work expected to be completed in late 2028.
At its core, this development is designed to be a vast, green backyard for one of Sydney’s most populous regions. Estimates show that by 2041, the population within 5km of the new park will rise to around 790,000, making Moore Park South one of Australia’s most densely populated spots – driving the need for public green space that can match this projected growth.
Paul Scully, the minister for planning and public spaces said: “Delivering Moore Park South is about creating a backyard for the thousands of current and future residents living in one of the densest communities in Australia.
Improving access to green open spaces has a direct link to improved physical and mental health outcomes for our communities so we must continue to pair homes with investments in our public spaces," he added.
Supported by a $50-million investment, Sydneysiders can expect to frolic through a new community sports field, enjoy public running, walking and cycling trails, picnic areas, a 9-hole public golf course, 90-bay driving range, a mini putt-putt range, plus a whole lot more.
Right now though, the park’s planners really want to hear from you.
If you’re a Moore Park South local (or think one day you will be), you can have your say on what you want from the park (or don't) from now until November 24, 2025 by submitting an online form, emailing planners, or attending a community consultation pop-up. You can learn more by visiting the Moore Park website.
What's going to happen to Moore Park Golf Course?
In June 2026, the current operating license for the well-known (and massive) Moore Park Golf Course and Driving Range will expire. With staged opening planned for the end of 2026, the Moore Park Golf Course will change shape with the advent of Moore Park South, transforming into a public park and community sport space, while still retaining plenty of golf-centric features, including a 9-hole golf course, driving range and putt-putt facilities.
