About

“Hi, have you heard about the changes that the council wants to make to Penshurst Park?”
It has amazed me, every time I have asked people this question, how often I’ve received the shocked answer; “No! What are they going to do?!”
And so, our mission was born – to inform!

This website was set up to enable people to hear about and talk about the  Masterplan and the subsequent Development Applications proposed  by the Georges River Council to alter Penshurst Park, which is bordered by King Georges Rd, Forest Rd, Cambridge St and Percival St in Penshurst 2222 (close to Hurstville), Sydney, Australia.

There are still many people who live close to the park, who do not know about the proposed changes to the park.  There are many more people who live beyond the streets that border Penshurst Park, who visit from other suburbs, and use the park regularly, who would probably also like to learn more and have their say about this project. So we are letting you know.

Please READ through the posts  in our blog here, and also have a look at the links to our other pages (see below) that will help you to understand the extent of this major project.
