The $84 million Concord Oval community and sports precinct is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the City of Canada Bay.

This new recreation project has been four years in the making and is set to open in early 2023. The precinct will provide the Canada Bay community with:

  • Green, open spaces
  • An indoor recreation centre with a gym, multipurpose sports courts, and group fitness rooms
  • Rooms for community programs, activities, and functions
  • Match day facilities for local sports clubs
  • A Centre of Excellence for the Wests Tigers.

The review of the Plan of Management for Concord Oval reflects the upgrade to sporting and community facilities at the site and meets the requirements of the Crown Land Management Act 2016.

Draft PoM (download)


A Plan of Management (PoM) is a strategic document providing a planning and management framework for the future use, development and maintenance. While a PoM is a requirement for all community and Crown land managed by Council, it also presents an opportunity to engage with the community and create a vision and values that are consistent with the needs of the current population and establishes how the park can be used in the future.

The draft Plan of Management (PoM) is on public exhibition until 5th February after which your feedback will be considered and any appropriate amendments made to the draft plan. Following this the final draft Plan of Management will be reported to Council for formal adoption.
