Another casino for Sydney – what about the West?

Casino mogul James Packer is lobbying hard to be allowed to build a harbour front skyscraper casino in Sydney to join with or take over The Star; this is not good news for Western Sydney. Casinos are major drawcards for international as well as local visitors and in cities all round Australia they make a significant contribution to the local package of offerings.

Two casinos in Sydney or the addition of a major casino complex would be detrimental to the economies of Parramatta and Western Sydney. The next casino for NSW needs to be in Western Sydney so that no more commercial opportunities in our region are stifled by overinvestment in the East and underinvestment in the West. A casino in the West is imperative.

A casino in Parramatta, with all the current and proposed development makes sense on face value but Parramatta has a thriving club scene that is important to the city's social and commercial activity and a casino would take too much of their oxygen.

The logical location for "Sydney's" next casino is the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. The location is easily accessible and serviced by public transport and the nature of a casino/accommodation business would fit easily into the Olympic Park landscape. The demographic around the site is ideal and by adding a casino the whole of Park offering would provide a boom in tourism and spin-off industries.

The Chamber calls on the State government to consider the next Casino location very carefully and in the context of sustainable regional development.
