    The primary use of the proposed facility will be netball, and 12 netball courts are required to be provided for the future needs of netball within the Kurri Kurri Planning Area. The playground, cricket practice nets and a large portion of green space for passive recreation activities are proposed to be retained to offer additional recreational opportunities for site users. Please note the multipurpose court is not part of the current project funding, however has been included as a consideration in the concept plan as its inclusion will be reviewed at detailed design stage alongside updated costings and priorities. A multipurpose court hit up wall, picnic settings/seating will be considered as additional elements to the playground at this stage also.

    Hi Peta,

    Here are some answers to your questions

    • Twelve netball courts are required to be provided for the future needs of netball within the Kurri Kurri Planning Area. 
    • The playground, cricket practice nets and a large portion of green space for passive recreation activities are proposed to be retained to offer additional recreational opportunities for site users. Please note the multipurpose court is not part of the current project funding, however has been included as a consideration in the concept plan as its inclusion will be reviewed at detailed design stage alongside updated costings and priorities. A multipurpose court hit up wall, picnic settings/seating will be considered as additional elements to the playground at this stage also. 
    • The repair of roads surrounding booth park is outside the scope of the project. 
    • A stormwater specialist has provided advice regarding stormwater management of the site. Drainage and stormwater will be managed effectively as part of the Booth Park project to ensure stormwater is managed within the site (and not exacerbate any existing issues). 
    • Noise mitigation measures (e.g. soundproofing, glazing) for adjacent properties will not be provided as part of the project, however further engagement will be held with local residents and sporting groups when confirming the future use of the site (hours of operation). Local residents will also be engaged around traffic management measures and signage at residential properties.

    The number of formalised car parking spaces that have been allowed for within the facility aim to minimise any impacts on surrounding residents. Specialist planning consultants were engaged to provide advice regarding car parking and Council considered the feedback from community during the public exhibition of the draft concept design.  The number of car parking spaces has been based on the number of players and spectators per team, per court, per hour.

    Council obtained funding through the NSW Government’s Resources for Regions grant program to undertake a business case, concept plan and detailed designs for Booth Park Netball Facility. Funding for the construction of the facility has been announced within the 2022/23 Federal Budget, however Council is awaiting the formal funding deed. Once the funding deed is finalised, Council will be able to confirm construction timeframes for the project.

    Once the Booth Park Netball Facility is operational, the Molly Worthington Netball Courts will no longer be used for netball. Council may consider other potential future uses for Molly Worthington Netball Courts.

    Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles have been considered in the design to minimise unauthorised use, crime and anti-social behaviour within the site.  Once established, additional CPTED measures including surveillance and access control will be considered in response to any ongoing crime and anti-social behaviour at the facility. The playground at the Booth Park will be retained to provide additional recreation opportunities for users of the site.
