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’s plan to cut the course to 12 holes.
The Opposition will move amendments to the Greater Sydney Parklands Bill 2026 requiring all reasonable steps be taken to retain the 18-hole course.
More than 32,000 people have signed an online petition opposing the Government’s proposal to reduce the course.
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.
"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.
“The 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.”
Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Chris Rath said Labor should back the amendment.
“Moore Park is one of Sydney’s 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,” Mr Rath said.
“A 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’re calling on Chris Minns to hit the pause button on this project.”
