Matraville RSL car park upgrade backed, but cost and construction date not recorded Randwick Council has endorsed participation in a joint funding arrangement with Matraville RSL Club and Sydney Catholic Schools for the 1P Norfolk Parade site, and authorised a request to Crown Lands for care and control of the land. Council: Randwick City Council Meeting: 22 Sep 2026 Recorded status: approved BRIEF According to unconfirmed minutes, Randwick City Council has endorsed participation in a joint funding arrangement with Matraville RSL Club and Sydney Catholic Schools to upgrade the car park at 1P Norfolk Parade, Matraville. Funding is identified in the 2026-27 capital works program, and the General Manager is authorised to request that Crown Lands transfer care and control of the site to council. The minutes do not give a project cost, construction date or contractor. Council resolved to receive a further report if any future lease, licence or management arrangements are required. KEY FACTS - The unconfirmed minutes record Council’s endorsement of participation in a joint funding arrangement with Matraville RSL Club and Sydney Catholic Schools for the 1P Norfolk Parade car park in Matraville. - Funding is identified as available in the 2026-27 Operational Plan and Budget’s Capital Works Program. - The General Manager is authorised to formally request Crown Lands to transfer care and control of the site to council. - Council resolved to receive a further report should any future lease, licence or management arrangements be required. - The minutes do not specify the project cost, construction date or contractor. ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - The resolution establishes council's endorsement of participation in a joint funding arrangement and notes budget availability, but does not establish the project's total cost, funding shares, construction timetable or contractor. - The resolution authorises a request to Crown Lands rather than recording that care and control has already been transferred. - Council resolved to receive a further report should any future lease, licence or management arrangements be required. QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING - What is the estimated total cost of the car park upgrade, and what contributions will each partner make? - Has Crown Lands agreed to transfer care and control of the site, and if so, on what terms? - What is the design and construction timetable? - What operating or management arrangement will apply after the upgrade, if one is required? RECORDED NEXT STEPS - The General Manager is authorised to formally request Crown Lands to transfer care and control of the site to council; the supplied record does not establish that the request has been made. - A further report is to be received if any future lease, licence or management arrangements are required.
