Overview
- Greater Sydney Parklands released a draft foreshore master plan for Sydney’s Callan Park and invited public comment.
- The plan explores adapting the heritage Cane Room into a cafe, which would require parliament to relax current not‑for‑profit rules on park uses.
- Foreshore works target the busy Bay Run with separate lanes for walkers and riders, smoother surfaces, more shade, and a new tidal swimming spot reported to be moving toward construction.
- The draft prioritises restoring native bushland and protecting First Nations archaeology on the Parramatta River foreshore under guidance from custodians.
- The plan proposes removing nine derelict buildings to create 1.6 hectares of new open space and outlines a community sports facility in a former repatriation ward.
