Rob Stokes MP, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Dear Minister This is the first Annual Report to be presented by the Wentworth Park Sporting Complex Land Manager following the implementation of revised legislation effective from 1 July 2018, where the former Trust transitioned to be- come the Land Manager. I would like to thank officials responsible for Crown Lands for the provision of information and personal briefings that have facilitated a very smooth transition. The term of the previous Trust Board expired on 26 May 2016. From 27 May 2016 pursuant to the Crown Lands Act 1989, the Minister Responsible for Crown Lands appointed an Administrator in the absence of a Trust Board. My appointment as Administrator commenced on 27 August 2016 for a period of two years. In August 2018, I was appointed Land Manager Administrator for a further 12 month term commencing on 27 August 2018. Following the Government’s decision in November 2016 to enable Greyhound Racing to continue in NSW, activities at Wentworth Park have entered a period of stability and of “business as usual”. Our relationship with the holder of the licence deed to conduct greyhound race meetings, the Greyhound Breeders Owners and Trainers Associa- tion has remained very positive.
