Basketball NSW has called on City of Newcastle to retain its support for the proposed New Lambton stadium, describing the council's potential withdrawal as a "significant setback for indoor sports in the region".
The sport's state body issued a statement appealing to the council after a notice of motion was lodged by ward three councillors Mark Brooker and Sinead Francis-Coan seeking to pull City of Newcastle's in-principle support for the Wallarah and Blackley ovals site.
