The Kiama Sports Complex and Leisure Centre are vital hubs for sports and recreation in the Kiama Local Government Area.

However, the playing surface and lighting need significant infrastructure upgrades, and the buildings and amenities are nearing the end of their lifespan. At this stage, minor repairs are no longer enough to keep them functioning at a high standard.

With the right improvements, this facility has the potential to enhance participation through better amenities, a more integrated design and high-quality infrastructure.

We've prepared a Masterplan Report (PDF, 15.65 MB) along with three options for you to review. You can find them in the Document Library.

How we got here

Community consultation

Community consultation is the first step in the masterplanning process. It helps gather people’s ideas and priorities for the space, ensuring their needs are addressed in the designs. Read the Community Engagement Report (PDF, 9.42 MB) for an overview of what we heard during the community consultation phase.

Guiding principles

The consultation process set up some key design principles that can help guide masterplanning and any future design work. They also serve as a handy way to assess different aspects of the design.

Public exhibition

Between 10 June and 5 August 2025, we invited you to review and provide feedback on the Draft Masterplans. You had the opportunity to speak with staff at our community pop-ups on Wednesday 9 or Saturday 26 July and share your feedback online.

Read the Public Exhibition Summary Report (PDF, 256 KB) for a detailed overview of community feedback received during the exhibition period. You can also view the Council Report from 16 September 2025, here.

Council staff are refining the draft Masterplan by incorporating the most supported elements from community feedback, with a further report will come back to Council for review.
