Homelessness NSW backs Wentworth Park plan to deliver 2,500 new homes

Homelessness NSW < 1 mins read

 

Homelessness NSW strongly backs the NSW Government's decision to raze Wentworth Park to build 2,500 new homes.

 

“Providing housing to the people of Sydney is far more important than watching dogs race around a track,” said Homelessness NSW CEO Dominique Rowe.

 

“Turning Wentworth Park into a public space and building 2,500 new homes is exactly the kind of bold decision we need more of.

 

“Wentworth Park should serve the people of Sydney, not gambling interests which have caused financial hardship and homelessness for decades.

 

“We call on the government to ensure at least 10% of the new homes built on this site are social housing, which is at historically low levels and is much needed to end homelessness.”
