Dear Members and Supporters,

Harbour Trust decides on Middle Head Oval Development

On 28 November 2024 the Harbour Trust determined Mosman Council’s application for a proposed replacement amenities building and associated works at Middle Head Oval.

We are delighted that the Harbour Trust has agreed with HPG’s position.

What is approved:

• Demolition of the amenities building and construction of a replacement building in a new location.

What is NOT approved:

• Proposed open-sided shelter (grandstand)

• Proposed vehicle layover bay – instead new vehicle drop-off/pick-up arrangements must be provided in the adjacent carpark.

• Proposed landscaped area – to be re-designed, minimising hardstand areas and providing shade trees for park users.

HPG thanks the Harbour Trust for listening to wider community concerns regarding the impact of Mosman Council’s proposed development.  We commend the Harbour Trust’s determination of the proposal which has respected the exceptional heritage and environmental values of the precinct.
