Stage 1 of the Belmont Sports Fields Master Plan officially opened on Friday 21 March 2025.
This $14 million upgrade involved the addition of four rectangular fields, a baseball diamond, a turf cricket wicket block, a synthetic cricket wicket, irrigation systems, pathways, fencing, flood lights, a site electrical upgrade and ground re-alignment to better suit the mix of sporting clubs that call the complex home.
Two brand new multipurpose amenities buildings were also constructed, bringing the facility up to standard for regional-scale events.
The neighbouring Molly Smith Netball Courts have also received a refresh, including resurfacing of all 14 courts, new lighting, line marking and goal posts.
The sports fields project was funded by $1.4 million from the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Grant, $4.7 million from the NSW Government through their Resource 4 Regions Grant and Multi Sports Facility Fund and $5 million from Lake Macquarie City Council.
While the $3 million netball court upgrade was jointly funded by $1.5 million from the NSW Government through the Stronger Country Communities Fund Round Five and $1.5 million from Council.
Future stages of the works are expected to cost about $25 million. Council is seeking funding from both the State and Federal Governments to enable Belmont Sports Complex to realise its full potential as a regionally and state significant team sports precinct.
