Sydney Olympic Park Authority


Pursuant to the Sydney Olympic Park Authority Act 2001, Sydney Olympic Park is managed by Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA). Following the conclusion of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Sydney 2000 Games), SOPA was established to oversee the place management and plan for the next phase of development across Sydney Olympic Park.

The objects of the SOPA Act are set out at Clause 3. The objects require that SOPA make all reasonable attempts to -

a. ensure that Sydney Olympic Park becomes an active and vibrant centre within metropolitan Sydney, and

b. ensure that Sydney Olympic Park becomes a premium destination for cultural, entertainment, recreation and

sporting events, and

c. ensure that any new development carried out under or in accordance with this Act accords with best practice

accessibility standards and environmental and town planning standards, and

d. ensure the protection and enhancement of the natural heritage of the Millennium Parklands.

Consent Authority

The New South Wales (NSW) Minister for Planning is the consent authority for all development within Sydney Olympic Park, with the exception of exempt development. Subject to the nature and scale of development, consent may either be granted by the Minister for Planning, or their delegate, including the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) and SOPA.
