Alliance MoU: a response to Greater Sydney Parklands Agency Exposure Bill.
In response to the Greater Sydney Parklands Agency Exposure Bill that was released today, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by all parties of the Alliance for Public Parklands (APP).
APP formed at the start of 2021 with deep concerns over the formation of the Greater Sydney Parklands Agency that was created by the NSW Department of Planning. MoU members include Blacktown & District Environment Group, Friends of Callan Park, Centennial Park Residents’ Association, Friends of Fernhill and Mulgoa Valley and North Parramatta Residents’ Action Group as well as other public parklands advocates.
The potential for public lands to be surrendered into this Agency should raise alarm bells for all of NSW as these lands could potentially be sold or leased. This new MoU strengthens the coalition approach our community groups will be taking from across Greater Sydney.
