DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR DEMOLITION OF MYUNA BAY SPORT AND RECREATION CENTRE LODGED
The NSW Office of Sport has lodged the Development Application (DA) for the demolition of Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre with Lake Macquarie City Council.
The DA is available for public comment until 1 September on the Application Tracking Tool on Lake Macquarie City Council’s website.
The DA is for the demolition and removal of all land and water-based structures at the site, the decommissioning of existing electrical, water and sewer services, and minor earthworks.
Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre was closed in 2019 following an independent review that found the centre not safe to re-open due to the serious potential risk from the potential failure of Eraring power station’s ash dam wall in the event of major seismic activity.
In January 2022, the NSW Government announced a site for a new Lake Macquarie Sports Centre on land previously part of Morisset Hospital within the Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area.
The Office of Sport is currently undertaking planning work and consultation to determine the scope and design of the facility with a construction timeline to be developed following the completion of the planning and consultation processes.
