COMMUNITY GROUP WINS FIGHT FOR BOWLING CLUB SITE

A major decision today regarding one of Newcastle’s key properties, with a community group winning its legal fight against plans for a function centre and kiosk at the old bowling club site at King Edward Park.

The Stronach Property project was approved by Newcastle Council in 2011.

That decision was challenged by the Friends of King Edward Park, who argued the site is crown land, and should be dedicated to public recreation.

Late today, the Land and Environment Court ruled the consent was invalid, and that the land cannot be used for anything other than public recreation.
