April 2025

A report on the draft Master Plan and Plan of Management was considered by Council’s Environment and Planning (E&P) Committee on 10 March 2025. The Committee recommendation was subsequently considered by Council at its ordinary meeting on 24 March 2025, where it was resolved:

(a) That Council endorse the draft Jubilee Stadium Precinct Master Plan and Plan of Management for public exhibition for a period of no less than 28 days and allow submissions to be received up until 42 days in accordance with section 38 of the Local Government Act 1993, subject to the following amendments prior to exhibition:

(i) Removal of the long term actions to ‘investigate, design and build a basement car park under Kogarah Park with access from English Street’ and

(ii) Removal of ‘additional basement parking’ from the long term action ‘Reconfigured “hill” above new indoor basketball courts with amenities and additional basement parking’

(b) That Council notify the draft Jubilee Stadium Precinct Master Plan and Plan of Management to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, as the representative landowner of part of the land under section 39 of the Local Government Act 1993, to obtain owner’s consent prior to public exhibition.

(c) That Council seek written consent from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to adopt the draft Plan of Management, in accordance with section 3.23(6) of the Crown Land Management Act 2016.

(d) That Council delegates authority to the General Manager to make any further amendments to the draft Jubilee Stadium Precinct Master Plan and Plan of Management to address any points raised by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure and make minor modifications to any numerical, typographical, interpretation and formatting errors if required.

(e) That Council endorse the proposed ‘General Community Use’ categorisation for the entire precinct and hold a public hearing under section 40A of the Local Government Act 1993.

In accordance with part (b) of the Council resolution, the draft Plans have been referred to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (Crown Lands) for landowner’s consent to formally exhibit the draft Plans.

The review process by Crown Lands can take several months, so it is expected that public exhibition of the draft Plans will take place in late-2025.

We will update this page when the draft Plans are on public exhibition and how to make a submission. Drop-in sessions will be offered to allow people to speak to the project team and find out more information.

March 2025 Update

A draft Master Plan and Plan of Management have now been prepared, informed by the community and stakeholder feedback received during the preliminary consultation.

A report on the draft Master Plan and Plan of Management will be considered by Council’s Environment and Planning (E&P) Committee on 10 March 2025. The Committee recommendation will then be considered by Council at its ordinary meeting on 24 March 2025.

A copy of the report is available in Council’s Business Papers on our Meeting of Council webpage: https://www.georgesriver.nsw.gov.au/Council/About-Your-Council/Meetings-of-Council

Subject to Council’s endorsement, we will then seek formal approval from Crown Land to publicly exhibit the draft Plans. The review process by Crown Lands can take several months, so it is expected that public exhibition of the draft Plans will take place in late-2025.

About the Project

The Jubilee Stadium Precinct comprises the area between Princes Highway, Jubilee Avenue, Park Street and English Street.

The Jubilee Stadium Precinct is located on a mix of Crown and Council-owned land. Under the Crown Land Management Act 2016, Council is required to have a Plan of Management (PoM) for the land. A PoM is a legal document that provides a clear set of guidelines for how community land will be used, improved upon and managed in the future.

Community feedback to inform a PoM for the Jubilee Stadium Precinct opened in December 2023. As part of this process, it became clear that a Master Plan is also needed to guide the future of the Precinct. A Master Plan is an overarching and conceptual spatial layout (diagram) used to guide the development of land.

Council has engaged consultants GHD to carry out consultation and prepare a Master Plan and Plan of Management (PoM) for the Precinct.

This preliminary feedback will help shape the draft Plans, which will be placed on public exhibition at a later stage.

The Precinct

The Precinct is made up of open spaces and facilities, including Jubilee Stadium, Kogarah Park, playground, community buildings occupied by Kogarah Community Services, and Nan Tien Buddhist Temple, war memorial and the Legend’s Walk.
