Q. Tell us about your connection to the Coffs Coast... are you a local or a visitor?

A. We have been established for over 32 years in Coffs Harbour and employ 20 local residents, but also have the support of an Australian and World Wide network for larger projects if required.

Q. What's your favourite thing to do in your down time on the Coffs Coast?

A. Popular activities undertaken by our people are cycling, kayaking, swimming, diving and walking on our regions beautiful beaches and trails.

Q. When it comes to sport, are you a player or a spectator? And have you done either at the current Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park precinct?

A. Many of our people actively partake in sport, but also take great enjoyment in watching our children participate in a wide range of activities, many of these are undertaken at the Sports Hub. Our team members for the project have attended various events at the Stadium, including T20 matches, A-League and Elton John.

Q. What do you think this Stage 2 Regional Sports Hub upgrade will mean for Coffs Harbour?

A. Building additional and an enhanced level of sporting facilities will not only offer local residents the opportunity to join in on more activities, but also build on Coffs Harbour’s reputation as an excellent sports host. This leads to more events being held, bringing a greater economic benefit to the Coffs Harbour community. Having attended various events at the Stadium over the years, it’s been obvious that it is a high class and well run facility that can easily be a true regional sports hub for New South Wales local and professional sports teams.

Thanks Rowan and Team!
