In June 2016 Council purchased 34 hectares of land along the eastern side of Quarter Sessions Road in Westleigh from Sydney Water to provide future sportsgrounds. The purchase of the land was funded by development contributions. The project will be partly funded by the NSW Stronger Communities grant. Status update The development of Westleigh Park for a range of sporting and other recreation uses will address predicted sportsground shortfalls in the Shire. Westleigh Park will be a multi-purpose facility with three sports platforms designed to work within the constraints of the existing bushland vegetation and the future provision of improved road access. The project will feature bushland restoration, play facilities, bushwalking and mountain bike trails. Negotiation with Sydney Water has secured their ’in principle‘ support for an extension of Sefton Road through the Thornleigh Reservoir site. Council undertook community engagement on the conceptual master plan for Westleigh Park in April 2021. The expectation is that stage one of the Westleigh Park project will be completed and available to the public in 2026.
