Tempe lands is a section within Tempe Reserve previously used as a dog off-leash area and driving range.

In 2019, the land was acquired by Transport NSW to construct the Airport Gateway road link. This work has now been completed and the land has been returned to our care.

We’ve prepared a draft 10-year Master Plan and we’d now like your feedback on our proposed approach to maintaining and caring for Tempe Lands.
