Dear Planning Department,
On review of the available submission for the HISC, I find I must object to the project location. I do-not believe the below has been adequately addressed:
- The existing multi-use park amenity being lost to a primarily single use facility does not balance the needs of the community.
- The known funding currently available appears to be grossly inadequate to provide a facility that will actually exceed the existing facility in Broadmeadow. If stage 1 is completed (i.e. doesn’t run out of funding), there will be eight courts, where as the existing facility has 6 courts. A slight change to stage 1 plans based on the actual construction cost during the build could easily see the new facility only have 4 or 6 courts built and no foreseeable timeline to when the remaining would be built, leaving a half-baked ‘elephant in the park’.
- The available funding will not cover the 1st phase and the facility will be inadequate without the 2nd stage being completed.
- With population density due to increase within the surrounding area, the School student population will continue to grow. Due to this population expansion, it is highly likely Lambton High school will need to expand to cater for the increase in students, it is highly likely the school will require some of this adjacent land in the short to medium term to allow for School expansion. There is currently no space or plans for any additional new schools in the area, so the existing Schools will need to cope with increased student numbers. I feel maintaining this option for the school whilst also maintaining the existing multi-use park and sports fields is critical for the Lambton and surrounding area.
- The School already utilises the existing park and sports fields for many activities critical to students as there is not enough space inside the School grounds.
- Referring to Figure 2-4 of Appendix P - Traffic Impact assessment, the proposed site is shown outside of the Broadmeadow Regionally Significant Growth Area and also outside the ‘Hunter Park Precinct, a proposed “entertainment, sporting and lifestyle precinct”’. This facility should be located within the bounds of this area, not outside it (be it adjacent or not).
- Based on the shaded area of the Growth Area mentioned above, there is many un-utilised areas that could potentially be used that have yet to be explored.
Once again, I am objecting to the project proceeding as is.
Kind Regards

- increased vehicle and human traffic in the area
- increased parking in local streets.
- adverse effect on flood risk
- removal of local playing fields and green areas
- removal of grounds and evacuation mustering area used by Lambton High School

I strongly oppose this ridiculous proposal to build a stadium in a residential area that already struggles with traffic issues. I have used the sporting fields as a player and coach for both soccer & cricket for the past 50 years as well as used as my school sports activities.
Basketball is a minority sport that is not a major sport in Newcastle area. Build it out at Steel River or somewhere that does not involve reducing existing green space playing fields .

The current submission in regards to environmental, social and community has a negative impact.
The proposed location at Wallarah oval -
- Would create flood and water run off issues that are already high in this space.
- where is the Traffic impact stud? Where is the data showing how busy that space is currently and then adding additional congestion to roads that have no space for widening?
The parking for any event at McDonald Jones is already lacking and increasing the load to this area would create increased frustration for any local residents and also people trying to utilise the Stadium and McDonald jones stadium.
- Why is one sport being prioritised over other sports, the new development takes away already limited cricket, soccer and school Sporting fields? Our current youth already have limited availability of sporting options and data shows our children are doing less and less activities. How is taking from multiple sports giving to another a sounds solution?
- I refer to plan SK-A02 Rev A: how is 3/4 of the space being taken up as car parking. The car parking is more here than opposite side at McDonald Jones stadium.
- SK-A03 - the height of the Stage 1A, 1B and 2B appears to be over and above the residential houses in this space. What impact does this have on the houses to the South? The highest point in building 2A is over 16 mtrs, this will
Impact residents to the South and Northern sides.
- It is clear that NCC has not consulted with sporting groups, as this plan would not have made it to this stage if full Consultation was provided to all sporting, community and residential groups.
