Carnarvon Golf Club - Media Release
Carnarvon Golf Club published a statement from General Manager Adam McGregor on Tuesday 4 Nov. In the statement titled “A tale of Two Sydney’s: Green Space for the East, Dead Space for the West” McGregor says:
“It’s a tale of two cities. In the east, Sydney gains a new 20-hectare park and new sporting facilities. In the west, the Minister for Lands and Property is pushing to take away Carnarvon Golf Course thriving community sporting spaces to create more “dead space” for cemeteries.”
The NSW Government announced a $50 million investment into the development of Moore Park South. Features expected in the transformation include a 9-hole public golf course, a community sporting field, cycling paths and amenities. Source.
The contrast between investing in green space for Sydney’s Eastern suburbs and the proposed replacement of green spaces for graves in Sydney’s West has drawn criticism.
You can read Adam McGregor’s full statement on the Carnarvon Golf Club website.
