JUNE/JULY 2020 UPDATE: Coffs Coast Regional Sports Hub Stage 2
Email to Stakeholders:
The extension of the existing Amenity Block between Leisure Park 1 & 2 is well under way with all service ducting in place, main slab and blockwork complete. The steel framing will be erected this week.
The below photo is looking south. The large windows are the canteen service windows facing into the breezeway between existing change rooms, and you can see the doorway into one of the change rooms that faces the western fields.

The anticipated completion date for the change rooms is October 2020.
The new turf playing field is also progressing as anticipated. Below is a progress photo, and all underground services are now installed (sub surface irrigation and drainage), and an interim sand blanket also in place. The final stages which will take place in August/September will include the installation of the remaining sand layer, playing surface turf, and sports lighting. Depending on the rate of grass growth, we hope this field to be ready for play after turf establishment expected in January 2021.
Below: Sports lighting onsite ready for install.
In addition to the above, the Bulk Earthworks contract which also includes carparks and entry roads will be issued for tender this week.
The Final Plans and Technical Specifications document for the Synthetic Fields has been finalised and distributed to stakeholders for any final feedback, and will be issued for tender next week.
Once the above two major contracts have been appointed, the final component of the project, being the new amenities building to service the synthetic fields, will go through final detailed designs and then be issued for tender.
In summary, exciting times onsite with the Regional Sports Hub Stage 2 progressing nicely. If you have any questions please feel to reach out, and we will continue to keep you updated.
