Wadanggari Park Opens in St Leonards

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Wadanggari Park in St Leonards is now officially open and ready to welcome locals and visitors alike to this innovative new open-air over-rail plaza. We have transformed St Leonards with close to 5,000sqm of increased open space thanks to almost $5 million in funding by the NSW Liberal Government. We have brought a little New York to the heart of St Leonards, along with new connections to the Crows Nest Metro Station and St Leonards Train Station. Wadanggari means 'Banksia' in the Sydney Indigenous Language and was chosen by the community. This new precinct also includes a new library run by Lane Cove Council that was officially opened last week. I congratulate the work of Lane Cove Council who have brough this vision to reality, and I know that already there has been an influx of locals enjoying the new spaces, and play equipment following Council's community fun day.
