Kemp Street Sporting Complex

Announcing the funding from the Greater Cities and regional Sport Facility

Summary

Council is upgrading the Kemp Street Sporting Complex to deliver improved facilities for a range of sports.

As set out under the Kemp Street Sporting Complex Master Plan, the project includes:

  • lighting
  • irrigation
  • a new turf cricket wicket table
  • pathway works
  • relocation of the athletics track from Service Clubs Park. 

Timeframe

At the February 2023 Council Meeting, Councillors agreed for staff to review the Kemp Street Sports Complex Masterplan.

The Macleay Valley Rangers Football Club committee approached Council asking the proposed new turf wicket and multi-sport functionality designation be removed from AREA 1: Premier Field Sports in the Masterplan.

The recommendations of the review will be brought back to a future meeting of Council for consideration.
