What’s this about?

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Parramatta City Council to name a reserve in the suburb of Wentworth Point as Sanctuary Park.

The new reserve is located at 14-16 Hill Road, Wentworth Point, Parramatta Local Government Area (LGA). The reserve follows the foreshore of the Parramatta River and is bounded by Sanctuary Boulevard to the south.

The reserve is a significant public open space and is intended to be a place where residents and visitors can reconnect with nature. The proposed name Sanctuary Park was selected in consultation with the local community and is intended to evoke a sense of refuge, peace and protection.

GNB is seeking feedback to gauge community sentiment for the proposed name. Suggestions for alternative names is not being sought at this time.
