What’s happening

Council has moved a step closer to delivering a new sporting and recreation complex for the north of the Central Coast.

The proposed Colongra Sporting Complex site spans across 2 hectares on Scenic Drive at Colongra with Council already having both long-term lease over the land and already undertaken extensive investigation which means development of the land can occur at relatively short notice, subject to relevant planning proposals.

Council has obtained $6M from the State Government Accelerated Infrastructure Fund grant and will amend the Long Term Financial Plan to bring forward the acquisition of the land to this financial year.

With an estimated cost of construction of the facility between $8.5M and $10.5M, there is $7M currently allocated in the adopted Capital Works program for Colongra Sporting Facility construction over the 2024/25 and 2025/26 financial years.

What is planned

The new sporting complex will include two new turfed sporting fields, three netball courts, sporting amenities building with accessible toilets, playspace, carpark, pathways and access road.

It is hoped that the community will make use of these facilities and gain the physical and mental benefits from organised sport and quality family time.

Construction will likely commence in the second half of 2024 with an anticipated completion in 2025.

Further project updates and milestones will be published on this project page as they are achieved.
