Ambitious Plan For Sports Centre Of Excellence Revealed For Newcastle West

BY IAN CROUCH

Concept plans for an ambitious sports complex at Newcastle West have been submitted to council for consideration.

The Hunter Academy of Sport has joined forces with a host of state government departments to put forward the idea for the Hunter Sports Centre of Excellence, with concept plans devised by EJE Architecture.

It's one of nine proposals being considered for a two hectare site of council-owned land at National Park.

The multi-million dollar plan includes indoor pools and playing areas including athletics, netball, basketball, croquet, lawn bowls and cricket.

However, it's unclear how the proposal  fits within the government's plans to redevelop the Broadmeadow Sports precinct.
