We congratulate Lake Macquarie City Council on their success in securing $10M through the Building Better Regions Fund for the Hunter Region Sports Centre Expansion project.

Otium Planning Group has more than four years project support history having originally been engaged by Council in 2017 to undertake a business feasibility study and prepare a capital works funding strategy to identify the priority components for redevelopment and expansion of this high use and operationally viable regional sport and recreation facility.

Extending the Centre’s range of facilities and offerings in line with community and user group needs and expectations will assist in maintaining the existing customer base and will also attract new users. The addition of community facilities, essential for the health, wellbeing and economic prosperity of an area, help address and maximise the social needs of the community and will also have significant economic impacts for the area.
