Lake Macquarie council has given the proposed Hillsborough basketball stadium a tick of approval ahead of the Hunter Joint Regional Planning Panel having final say on the $19.8 million project.
Council gave endorsement reliant on a list of conditions including an approved design for parking and access, plan for upgrade of the intersection of an access road and Waratah Avenue, access blocked from the Newcastle Inner City Bypass between 4 and 6pm weekdays and an event management plan submitted for approval before the first event.
