Plan to put Broadmeadow on the world stage
Minister for the Hunter and Member for Newcastle, Jodi McKay, today announced the first stage of consultation had started on developing a plan for the future of the Broadmeadow sporting precinct.
“The NSW Government, in partnership with the Hunter Region Sporting Venues Authority (Hunter Venues), has identified an opportunity to increase community use of the precinct,” Ms McKay said.
“This will include developing a plan of management to enhance pedestrian, cycle and public transport linkages and improve and develop facilities on the Broadmeadow site.
“Our overwhelming objective is to create a world class sporting and entertainment precinct for Newcastle.”
Ms McKay said the opportunity to improve facilities is timely with Australia’s bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup expected to be determined by December 2010.
