Your feedback on plans to renew Belmore Park in Haymarket
We plan to renew Belmore Park opposite Central station. Our plans include better lighting, pathways and new gathering and play spaces.
Under review
Contributions to this consultation are closed for evaluation and review. The project team will report back on key outcomes.
What we’re doing
We want to hear your views on our proposed improvements to Belmore Park. Your feedback will help with the continued revitalisation of the Haymarket area.
Community feedback has helped us to develop the Belmore Park concept design.
Key features of the design include:
- simpler paths with new surfaces
- better lighting for people to feel safer at night
- exploring ways to turn the bandstand into a fun play space
- a place for the community to meet and spend time together
- more greenery, planter beds and seating
- keeping all mature and healthy trees in the park.
We’re investigating improving access to the park on the western side, with more paths and seating.
Why we’re doing this
Belmore Park is on Gadigal Country. It’s an important historical park and a major connection point to Central station. It hosts regular political demonstrations and cultural gatherings, including Lunar New Year celebrations.
The park is a significant place with enduring connection for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, activism and cultural practice. Its closeness to Central station makes it an important place for members of the Stolen Generations.
Improving Belmore Park is a priority in our Haymarket and Chinatown revitalisation strategy and Haymarket and Chinatown public domain plan. We developed the strategy and plan after hearing from more than 1,150 people who contributed to the community’s vision for Haymarket.
When we consulted the community, we heard that improving safety, sightlines and entrances to the park is important, along with reinterpreting the bandstand and the creative use of lighting.
We also heard that the park could be more inviting with better paths and cycleways, more seating and spaces for recreation. These improvements would encourage people to enjoy one of the bigger green spaces in Central Sydney.
How you can give feedback
Consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 6 April 2026.
