Plans to hold more events in a section of the Entertainment Quarter at Moore Park have sparked opposition from residents.
Plans to dramatically expand the number of events that can be held at Moore Park have provoked outrage from nearby residents who say the area will worsen existing problems with noise, congestion and antisocial behaviour.
The EQ is an entertainment and retail precinct in Moore Park next to Disney Studios and the Sydney Cricket Ground that was the former home of the Royal Agricultural Show and now houses restaurants, bars, a cinema, shops and live events. “The new spaces in question are located at a point furthest away geographically from the residential areas,” he said.“Any specific music concert proposed in these spaces would still need to follow the current planning approval pathway and apply for a separate DA,” he said.
Residents said their health and well-being would be detrimentally affected if the council permits more events at EQ. “Moore Park and the local communities are impacted by the noise, the antisocial behaviour of patrons, massive traffic gridlock and even graffiti on our homes,” he said. “This area is saturated with events that are hardly family-friendly but rather centre around alcohol.”
