The draft strategy supports the Callan Park Plan of Management 2025 to 2035. The draft plan of management is on public exhibition for community and stakeholder feedback from 25 September to 29 October 2025.
What is an access, movement and parking strategy?
The Strategy will guide interim and long-term changes to how people move around Callan Park now and into the future. It defines a long-term pedestrian, cycle, vehicular movement, and parking strategy for Callan Park, which addresses open space access needs, considers current and future uses, reduces pedestrian and vehicular conflict and manages parking.
The strategy focuses on three key areas:
- Safety and circulation - making it safer and easier to move around Callan Park
- Car parking - providing a sustainable level of parking that responds to current and future uses.
- Access and connections - helping people move easily through the park and connect with nearby areas.

Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust (CPMPT) owns 38 of the 61 hectares of Callan Park, which is managed by Greater Sydney Parklands. This includes the waterfront and central park areas. NSW Health manages the remaining areas. Some small pockets of land along the waterfront are also owned by Transport for NSW.
The draft Access, Movement and Parking Strategy was prepared alongside the draft Plan of Management. The strategy supports the Plan of Management’s strategic direction 3 - Create a safe, accessible and connected park, and provides further information on proposed changes over time to address safety and circulation, car parking and access and connections.
Have your say – both draft documents are on public exhibition for community and stakeholder feedback from 25 September to 29 October 2025.
Transitioning Callan Park from a former hospital use to a recreational environment will take time. The long-term plan in the Strategy for pedestrian, cycle, and vehicular movement and parking in Callan Park provides a focus for future funding applications over time. We will work to move toward the long-term outcome with interim measures and pilot projects in the short term.
Waterfront Drive will be closed to vehicles to improve safety for pedestrians and reduce conflict with cars. Alternative options will be provided to accommodate parking displaced from Waterfront Drive.
Delivery of the Wharf Road car park will be considered in the context of other parking being provided to ensure parking displaced from Waterfront Drive is accommodated.
