Consultation has concluded

Coffs Harbour City Council has planned the development of the Coffs Coast Regional Sports Hub Project. This is a 4-stage project and has commenced with the ‘Building an EPIC Stadium for the Future’ project, which increases player and spectator facilities at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium. Stage 2 of the project involves the initiation of sports infrastructure development at the north western area of the precinct, currently an undeveloped area, to deliver 3 new fields, two of which are synthetic, allowing for increased capacity for competitions and player, training and coaching development. Stage 2 of the project will also provide new and upgraded facilities to further provide for inclusive needs of athletes and spectators who compete in the region, along with connectivity throughout the entire precinct, linking the neighbouring health and education campuses with the sporting precinct which adds to the overall provision for the sporting community. The project will: • Physically and strategically connect the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, the Coffs Harbour Education Campus, and the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park Precinct. • Increase levels of participation for local sportspeople • Strengthen performance pathways for pre-elite and elite athletes • Connect the sports sector and other complementary services physically and through shared provision for athletes and research students • Increase economic returns through delivery of more and larger events • Deliver on planned development of sports facilities, infrastructure and opportunities, with sporting facilities that meet the user needs of all genders and people with a disability.
