Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

In 2013, Council adopted the Johnstons Creek Parklands Master Plan which supported the reclamation of industrial land along The Crescent for open space. The vision included the creation of a Village Green for junior sports within a new recreational precinct. This junior field would be situated on the land at 7 The Crescent, Annandale (The Crescent Open Space) and a section of Chapman Road.

The Sports Field Development Programme (endorsed by Council in 2019) selected The Crescent Open Space as a suitable location for the development of a multi-purpose synthetic field because of support from local sporting groups, proximity to public transport links including Jubilee Park Light Rail Station as well as its location adjacent to Federal Park, Jubilee Oval and future Rozelle Interchange, creating a hub of recreation and sport.
