Summary, model-written

Demolished in 1981 after closing as a multi-sport venue (horse racing, cricket, athletics, rugby).

Why. Closed per record; status confirmed as demolished. No redevelopment details provided beyond 'redevelop' strategy.

Where it stands. Site is vacant (after_notes: 'site of former Cumberland Oval').

For a planner

Housing market shows ZHVI $276k (2026-09, likely error), -2% YoY change; retail employment up 11.3% (2012-2023).
Nearby peer: Greenspoint Mall (9km, 5.0 score) also redeveloping.
Traffic: I-45 (9 lanes, 199k ADT) nearby.

For a developer

No new use specified; 'other' use listed. No current permits or projects noted.
Housing market shows negative annual change (-2%), but 5-year growth (11.3%).
Peer analysis shows 6 similar sites, but only Greenspoint Mall is nearby (9km).

What we do not know yet

City listed as 'Parramatta' but state 'TX' (geographically inconsistent; no correction made).
Housing data date '2026-09' appears erroneous.
No details on entitlements, current projects, or redevelopment plans beyond 'redevelop' strategy.
Opp_score 10.0 contradicts housing market decline noted in reasons.
