Sydney MAY loose it's cheapest car park

SYDNEY business leaders have called for the demolition of the Sydney Entertainment Centre to allow for an expansion of the exhibition and convention space at Darling Harbour.

In a submission to the NSW government, which is reviewing the future of South Darling Harbour, the Sydney Business Chamber says demolishing the Entertainment Centre and its car park would make room for an extra 20,000 square metres of exhibition space in a multi-purpose facility with a hotel.

So – Sydney’s cheapest car park could be taken away from us?
