Moore Park Area 2 reopens

The car parking area adjacent to the Hordern Pavilion will reopen in time for this weekend’s sporting events.

The area, bounded by Anzac Parade, Lang Road and Driver Avenue, was closed in late May following the discovery of asbestos-related material. The area has been cleaned up and the asbestos-related material removed from the site. The work was carried out by accredited asbestos removal specialists in a planned and safe process.

During the cleanup, however, other contaminants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (or PAHs), were discovered below the surface of the car park but advice to the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust is that the risk to public health is negligible.

The Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust plans long term remediation of the site over the next 12 months, which will involve the removal of the contaminants. This work will necessitate further and limited closure of the site and will be scheduled at a time of lower public need to minimise disruption.

Once the remediation is complete, the area will again be public open space as well as event car parking.
