Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the new Greater Sydney Crown Land Open Space Activation Program would fund upgrades to Crown land and community facilities.
“The last 12 months has taught us the importance of green open space and creating public places where people can safely meet, congregate and relax.
“It makes good sense that by improving Crown land and public infrastructure we can make better use of the assets we already have to create more open space for the community to enjoy.
“These projects will also support local jobs and economies with work for tradespeople and materials suppliers,” Mr Stokes said.
In addition to the funding, Crown land will be reviewed to identify sites for future activation. Local councils will be invited to participate in partnership opportunities for activation and ongoing management of shortlisted sites for activation.
An additional $500,000 over the next two years will be used to protect sensitive nature reserves being impacted by unauthorised activities such as four-wheel driving, dirt bike riding and rubbish dumping.
The projects are among a range of stimulus initiatives being funded on Crown land sites across Greater Sydney.
