“I lead for the Opposition in debate on the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust Amendment (Car Parking) Bill 2023 and confirm that the Coalition will support the bill. We need to make travelling to attend major events at the Sydney Football Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground as user friendly and accessible as possible. The bill strikes the right note in achieving those goals.”

Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust Amendment (Car Parking) Bill 2023
Mr PAUL SCULLY, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces — 2023-10-10
The bill seeks to amend section 20AA of the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust Act 1983, which establishes deadlines for the closure of on-grass car parking at Moore Park East. On-grass parking has been a feature of major events at the Sydney Cricket Ground [SCG] precinct for over a century. However, driving is only one way people access the Moore Park precinct. As alternative options such as light rail and integrated ticketing have been introduced, on-grass parking has been progressively closed, and amendments to the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust Act in 2022 finalised that process.
