I support HISC in the new stadium project

The area needs this to assist both parents and participants, who at present need to travel some distance

There is such a need for this project to go ahead. The current stadium is in a state of disrepair and with the growing number of players, often having to play at 2 other facilities. it is time for a new stadium. Newcastle deserves upgraded facilities and it is the prefect place for the new stadium.

The current basketball stadium is falling down, it is the only indoor sport in Newcastle that is cancelled due to rain. The redevelopment is long overdue. This facility is utilised to maximum capacity throughout the year and is unable to accommodate the number of players involved in basketball in Newcastle. The proposed Hunter Indoor Sports Complex is centrally located and will provide indoor sports facilities to the local community & surrounding schools. It is an appropriate use of land in a precinct that is already devoted to sport (hockey, football, league, rugby). It is situated on main bus routes & main feeder roads. This sports centre will be able to support regional
Competitions and first grade games just as the other sporting centres in the current Broadmeadow precinct already do. Newcastle is fortunate to be blessed with plenty of green space and fields for soccer. The proposed indoor sports stadium covers a relatively small area for large proportion of sports participants compared to soccer fields as an example.

This is a MUCH needed venue for our children, adult and communities to utilise for multiple sports. The current basketball stadium specifically is not fit for purpose

The current basketball stadium is in great need of refurb and this project would help the greater community

Please allow our children to continue to play and grow within a safe environment

Green space in Lambton is very important for everyone to use and enjoy and for the wild life. This area is prone to flooding. The surrounding houses will be at risk. There will not be enough parking. There will be increased noise pollution in the neighborhood. Once the land is built on, there’s no going back. There are much more suitable locations. Please do not build this sports venue.

Newcastle has waited too long for a decent Indoor Sports complex. There are many Young and old people currently using the crumbling basketball stadium playing a number of different sports. It’s time for NSW Government to do more for Newcastle.

Having two teenagers that play outdoor sports it is disrespectful to lose more outdoor space to cater for indoor sports when an indoor venue already exists. In my opinion this is catering to developers needs and wants rather than what is best for the community as a whole.
