Construction is now underway at Central Coast Stadium to deliver two additional change rooms for the accommodation of multiple teams, in time for the start of the 2018 A-League season.
Central Coast Council Director, Assets, Infrastructure and Business, Mr Mike Dowling, said that the delivery of these change rooms is another step Council is taking to continuously improve this important asset. “In addition to providing hirers with more facilities for use, these extra change rooms will improve both the appeal and functionality of the Stadium to a wider section of the community, and in turn prove our reputation as a leading sporting, entertainment and recreational venue.”
Mayor Jane Smith said that continuing to invest in upgrades to the Stadium is a key component to bringing in key events and tourism opportunities to boost the economy of the Central Coast. “We would like to see more world-class sporting events on the Coast that growing interest in sport on the Coast. “Having the capacity to facilitate more sporting codes, particularly for women, is a key driver for that. “I look forward to more teams taking to the field in our upgraded and revitalised stadium in the future,” she added. The total budget for the construction of the change rooms is $800,000, which is being funded by Council’s operational plan. Source: Media release, May 11 Central Coast Council Media
