Sophia Waters in Chisholm has been identified as the home for a new neighbourhood sportsground to cater to the area's growing population. Located at 15 Suncroft Street, Chisholm, the new sportsground will complement plans for another sportsground at Billabong Parade.
Once complete, the new facility will include two mixed sports fields, a turf cricket wicket, an amenities building complete with accessible changerooms and toilets, a canteen and storage area, irrigation and sports flood lighting, fencing and over 100 parking spaces, including accessible car parks. A playspace will also be constructed on site next to the sportsground, with designs for this element of the project set to be finalised in mid-2025.
Construction on the new sportsground is set to begin in May 2025 and is expected to be completed by late 2026.
The project is being funded by Maitland City Council.
