Council developed a plan for the future of Central Coast Stadium – the Central Coast Stadium Strategy.
As part of the process we consulted with a range of stakeholders including Councillors, Stadium staff, commercial hirers, community hirers, venue operators and the wider community.
A draft strategy, which outlined the objectives and options for the ongoing management of the Stadium, as well as a potential naming rights sponsor was placed on public exhibition between 1 September and 28 September 2020.
In total, we received 17 submissions. A review of these submissions was undertaken and a subsequent report was made to Council.
Council adopted the Central Coast Stadium Strategy on the 23 March 2021, a copy of the strategy is available here.
