The Greater Sydney Parklands Trust Bill 2021, which was passed by the NSW Legislative Assembly in November last year, would establish the Greater Sydney Parklands Trust as a corporation and NSW Government entity responsible for the management and control of some of Sydney’s well-known public parks including Centennial Park, Western Sydney Parklands, Parramatta Park, Callan Park and Fernhill Estate. However, the NSW Legislative Council referred the legislation to a select parliamentary committee for inquiry.
Expanding one of the world’s oldest public parks is regarded as one of the few ways to reduce a major deficit in open space in Sydney’s second city, says Parramatta’s lord mayor.
