Current opportunities

Centennial Parklands welcomes business proposals that will add to the experience of our more than 30 million visitors each year.

Business proposals must relate to services and/or products that enhance the Parklands' image and brand, and be consistent with the Parklands' values. 

As a NSW Government agency we need to follow normal procurement processes. Our procurement processes are transparent and fair and give service providers an equal opportunity to gain access to the Parklands for commercial ventures. 

When seeking specific goods or services we will advertise these on our website. Even if you think your proposal is ‘unique’, if we agreed that there may be a market for your business it would be normal practice for us to undertake a market testing process by seeking formal proposals from the wider market. 

We are not intending to change the current amount of green space, so it is unlikely that we would agree to new buildings that result in the amount of green space being reduced. 

Leasing opportunities at Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queens Park, including Centennial Park Equestrian Centre are generally done via an open market process and are advertised on our website and the NSW Governments eTendering website. 

If you have any questions regarding our leasing process or would like to enquiry about a specific opportunity please email the Property Services team at property.services@gsp.nsw.gov.au
