Council has received funding through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program, which is funding transformational infrastructure projects across Western Sydney, to redevelop the much-loved Turnbull Oval. The redevelopment of Turnbull Oval will bring it in line with modern needs and expectations of the growing community, benefit local football codes and cricket teams, and provide for both male and female participation.

Proposed improvements include:

  • Refurbished amenities building with covered tiered seating to support canteen, club room, office, increased storage solution and compliant change spaces.
  • Upgraded multi-purpose courts
  • Integrated sporting fields for Rugby and Cricket (with upgraded drainage, irrigation and new turf where field expansion is required).
  • Upgrade of the 2 existing cricket practice nets
  • Shared path network with better connections
  • Increased tree planting
  • Upgraded carparking
  • New playground
  • Social gathering spaces including BBQs and seating

The Turnbull Oval Redevelopment will be funded through the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program. The Program will see $2 billion worth of transformational infrastructure delivered across Western Sydney.

    The concept plans for the Turnbull Oval and Amenities Upgrade, presented to Council for endorsement on 22 July 2025, were developed through a collaborative process. These plans incorporated valuable input from stakeholders and user groups to ensure the proposed design aligns with community needs and aspirations, while also remaining within the constraints of the approved funding envelope.

    Although Council did not formally endorse the concept plans to go out for community consultation, it also did not resolve to dis-endorse the project. Consequently, the project currently remains in a neutral position, with no definitive direction to either proceed or discontinue.

    As the next step, staff will engage with Council to seek clarity on its preferred direction for the project. This will include consideration of potential risks, funding constraints, and feasible alternative pathways to support an informed decision regarding the project’s future.

    Following confirmation of Council’s position, this direction will be communicated to all relevant stakeholders and user groups to ensure transparency and maintain continued engagement.

    A subsequent report to Council would then need to be considered.
