The NSW Government announced Golf NSW has been appointed as the Crown land manager of Cammeray Golf Course, replacing North Sydney Council.
The broader Cammeray Park reserve will continue to be managed by North Sydney Council. Earlier this year in February, the council accused the NSW government of misrepresenting its engagement with the council over plans to secure the future of golf at Cammeray Golf Course, saying it was “blindsided” by a ministerial media announcement issued last night.
As reported by the Sun at the, the NSW government said it was in discussions with Golf NSW, North Sydney Council, Cammeray Golf Club and other stakeholders about future management arrangements for the course, with the existing lease due to expire in May 2026.
Mayor Zoë Baker said she had written to the Minister for Lands and Property and Minister for Sport, Steve Kamper, on eight occasions since late 2022 outlining council’s position on Cammeray Park and requesting discussions.

“Not once has Council been granted that opportunity,” Baker said, contrasting this with Golf NSW, which she said had met with the minister on five occasions since 2023.
Despite the objections, the NSW Government chose Golf NSW over the council.
“The Minns Government was not going to let this course slip into uncertainty or be lost to the Community. Local residents have been loud and clear, they want to keep their golf course. We’ve heard that, and today we’re delivering on it.” Minister Steve Kamper said in a statement about the new agreement.
CEO of Golf NSW Stuart Fraser said “Golf NSW looks forward to working with the local community and the Club’s Board in welcoming players of all abilities to the greens and fairways of Cammeray Golf Course,”
As of the time of publishing, North Sydney Council is year to release a public statement regarding the new management arrangement.
