The Sydney Common
The largest urban park in the southern hemisphere, developed as a parkland since the early days of European settlement. It also gives its name to the small residential suburb on its western fringe, whose most famous resident was Nobel Prize winning novelist Patrick White.
Common land proclaimed by Governor Macquarie in 1811 for Sydney's inhabitants to graze animals. The original 1000 acres was reduced in 1866 as land was sold to fund levelling and tree planting.
Go Ahead Over 200 Years And It Is Becoming A Mayer Of The People V's the State
Since The Time Governor Macquarie Put Aside The Land To Make a Common There Have Been Many Threats To The Land And Open Space by Various Subdivisions At The Beginning Of Centennial Parks Existence To Pay For The Park Itself, To Successive Governments Wanting Turn It Into Something Else.
The Kippax Lake Area Of Moore Park Has Been Proposed To Be A Sports Precinct, And Now There Is the stubby Cotter Bridge Which Blew Out All Government Budgets, For What A Footbridge Should Be Worth.
THEN THERE IS THE MATTER OF THE CENTENNIAL PARK TRUST MEMBERS BREAKING THE TRUST DEED AND SELLING THE LAND FROM LACHLAN SWAMP AND THE ORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE WATERLOO AND LORD PAPER MILL FROM 1803.

It's Really Enough To Break Your Heart When You Happen To Come Across Plans Like The DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOORE PARK PRECINCT.
Just Who The Hell Do These People
Think They Are
This Land Was Given To The People Of New South Wales By Governor Macquarie In 1811. Thank God He Had A Vision.
In 1983 By Act Of Parliament The New South Wales Centennial And Moore Park Trust And Board Waa Created To Manage Centennial Park, Moore Park And Queens Park.
All Things Measured The Trust Has Been Very Successful In That Time.
Where The Board And Trustees Have Really Fallen Over Was The Sale of A Tract Of Land On Alison Road Across From The Randwick Racecourse.
In Late 2015...... In The Dead Of Night.... The Trust Voted To Sell This Land For $7 Million Dollars To The Light Rail Corporation.
This act Was And Still Is Illegal. It Is Set Out Clearly In The Deed. under
Section 5 - Sub section 19 - Part 2
Clause 3
ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE ORIGINAL SYDNEY COMMON LAND GRANTED TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW SOUTH WALES IN SEPTEMBER 1811 SHALL EVER BE RESUMED OR APPROPRIATED BY EITHER PRIVATE ENTERPRISE OR BY THE NEW
SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT UNLESS BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT
