Maryland Sporting Precinct

planned

The City of Newcastle has unveiled draft plans for a brand-new sporting precinct at Creek Road, Maryland, marking the first district-level sports facility to be built from the ground up in over two decades. The concept masterplan outlines a five-hectare site that could include up to four multi-use fields, a dual-facing grandstand with changerooms, public amenities, car parking, enclosed cricket nets, spectator seating, shared paths and outdoor fitness stations. The project is part of a larger 30-hectare site including wetlands and natural areas, intended to meet growing demand for sporting facilities and enhance local green space. The facility is expected to be delivered in stages over the next five to ten years, supported by government funding and external partnerships.
