Bungarribee EOI and Community Consultation for the Bungarribee Masterplan
Western Sydney Parklands Trust is embarking upon the most exciting and significant transformation of the Parklands to date.
The Bungarribee precinct is over 200 hectares and is located in the northern section of the Parklands at Doonside. The Precinct is bounded to the west by the M7 Motorway, to the south by the Great Western Highway and to the east by Doonside Road.
Western Sydney Parklands Trust plans to transform this area into a super park - and your input is welcome!
The super park could can contain world class facilities - in terms of scale think New york's central park and could include passive recreation, outdoor entertainment, tourism facilities - you tell us!
You can attend a community consultation on site at Bungarribee on Sunday 26th May from 10am - 1pm.
If you can't be there in person, you can participate in an online forum. For more information visit www.bungarribeeprecinct.com.au
Simultaneous to the community consultation, the trust is also looking for suitable industry partners to provide tourism infrastructure, with the issuing of an EOI.
