The exhibition period for the proposed new basketball stadium on Wallarah and Blackley ovals is now open closed.

Now is the time to formally submit your opposition to this project going ahead on this site, that will result in the loss of vital green space and existing sporting facilities.

Submissions must be made by Monday 11 November 2024, at the NSW government planning portal, on the Hunter Indoor Sports Centre project page.

Update, 4 November 2024: I have completed my opposing submission on the project planning portal. In summary I have three principal objections:

1. Loss of green space.
2. Significant negative impacts on traffic and parking.
3. Unfairness to existing users of the site.
