I really think the stadium is needed! It will overall bring more community and better infrastructure which assists our local sports cultures :)

Our facilities need to be updated it is an embarrassment the current state and the leaks in the stadium

I fully support the build of the indoor sports stadium at Lambton.
The community needs this asap

I live locally, I see how many people already make use of the facility which is extremely run down. I travel a lot with Basketball and I know that there are not many sites which are big enough to hold a tournament in NSW, if there were you would get all the accom and food for everyone visiting (at least
3000 people each time). It is definitely worth it on so many levels, it would benefit so many people.

This facility will be fantastic for giving people with disabilities a place to participate in the sport of their choosing. The allied health facilities are another great addition. The ability to use the land in all weather is another reason to continue with the development. Thousands of people with benefit from this facility directly and thousands more indirectly with all the carnivals, tournaments and other events that will use it.

A new stadium is desperately needed and is going to be of huge benefit to so many people in the community, especially young people wanting to continue to participate in sport. A regional city of our size needs this. There is no good reason this should not go ahead.

I would like to support this project. I think it is really good for families and the community in general. We desperately need more facilities. Please pass this project through.

Please Find attached my objection letter outlining the following:
1. Flood Risk and Storage Compliance
2. Emergency Management Deficiencies
3. Traffic, Transport and Cumulative Impacts
4. Groundwater and Staging/Funding Uncertainty

Indoor sports in the Newcastle area are not easily accessible. Most PCYC's are closing their doors to casual indoor sports and the small handful of indoor sports facilities are either private (such as schools) or are open but are extremely small and do not have the ability to cater for large amounts of people.
Indoor sport is important to the community as it provides an option to older people and people with limited physical ability to play sport. Indoor courts are easier on the joints than that of outdoor concrete courts. It also provides a place for people to participate in their community and meet people.
Other than the Uni there are nearly no facilities for wheelchair sports in the Hunter which is a disgrace considering it is 2025. The City of Newcastle needs to do better to provide sports facilities for people with a disability.
Indoor sports are growing incredibly fast and it would be a shame for Newcastle to be behind the curb when it comes to indoor sports such as basketball, paddleball, pickleball etc.
