The planning proposal sought rezoning of two sites to facilitate a land swap deal in which recreational activities would relocate from Halekulani Oval, Budgewoi, to a vacant site currently owned by Woolworths in Colongra.
If the land swap proceeds, the council would then own the Colongra site and negotiate use of the neighbouring land from Delta Electricity, ultimately controlling about 10 hectares for a large community sporting complex, with up to four sports fields, netball courts and improved amenities.
In return, Halekulani Park would be rezoned to allow development (subject to approvals) of a new Woolworths supermarket next to the existing Budgewoi shopping centre.
The proposal will now go to the NSW government’s ‘Gateway’ approval process.
If viewed favourably by the Department of Planning, the Planning Proposal will be placed on public exhibition.
