The developer of the proposed Hillsborough basketball stadium and nearby residents have pushed their final cases for and against the project as a planning panel adjourns to decide the fate of the $19.8 million proposal.
The Hunter Central Coast Joint Regional Planning Panel held a public determination meeting on Thursday afternoon, where residents listed their objections to the proposal and Newcastle Basketball spoke about why the 10-court, 2200 seat stadium was needed. Panel chair Alison McCabe said they would take a few days to make their decision.
