November 4, 2016

 

An old car park at Sydney Olympic Park is set to be transformed into an artificial surf beach by surf park developer Wave Park Group and Perth-based architecture practice MJA Studio. Wave Park Group has announced it has been nominated as the preferred proponent for the 3.2-hectare site currently known as car park P5, located at Sydney Olympic Park.
