Introduction
OverviewQueanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council have engaged Oxigen to undertake master planning for a new green field community recreation sports facility (Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex) precinct adjacent to the Jerrabomberra Creek within Queanbeyan, NSW. The master plan responds to current and future sporting needs with a focus on:
— Developing high quality facilities and sporting assets.
— Providing convenient and centralised access to facilities.
— Addressing shortfalls in the current range of services offered within Queanbeyan and surrounding region.
Project HistoryIn 2012, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council resolved that:
— Council undertake detailed planning for staged construction of a new sports precinct and a new aquatic centre in the Jerrabomberra area – as included in the Community Strategic Plan 2010-20.
— A premier standard synthetic surface sports field for hockey, soccer and possibly other sports be a central feature together with a range of new sporting fields, courts and sporting club facilities in the plan.
In 2016, Oxigen developed a master plan for two sites (A and B) located on Tomsitt Drive, Jerrabomberra. Consultation with Council and the community was undertaken in preparation of the master plan.
In 2017, Council requested design and planning services (this report) be undertaken for an alternate ‘Site C’ following identification of a potential area to the north of the proposed Environa and South Tralee residential developments.
The master plan will assist Council to
facilitate the staged development of a
new regional sporting precinct.
Project BriefThe Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex is intended to cater for and accommodate the new urban developments of Environa and South Tralee, growth area of Googong and existing communities of Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra.
Master plan requirements include:
— Detailed planning for staged construction of a new sports precinct (soccer and hockey), basketball stadium and aquatic centre.
— A premier standard synthetic surface sports field for hockey and soccer.
— A range of other sporting fields, courts and sporting club facilities.
Further development of the project brief has occurred in consultation with the Project Working Group and Sports Council.
— Incorporate premier standard synthetic surface hockey pitches.
— Incorporate premier standard synthetic surface soccer pitches.
— Consider other sports fields for this site, including basketball.
— Incorporate sporting club facilities. — Incorporate car parking and circulation. — Consider a new aquatic centre with 50m pool. — Consider co-located child care facilities.

Context
The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex site is located close to the border of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Due to the proximity to Canberra sporting facilities, many Queanbeyan residents play sport within Canberra Associations.
Queanbeyan’s population (36,348 - 2016) has generally exceeded the capacity of the existing sporting assets and new purpose built facilities are required to cater for demand and to retain high level players from leaving the local area to pursue their chosen sports.
The site is located on the eastern edge of Queanbeyan’s urban development and is within areas designated for future growth. The site will be accessible from Thompsitt Drive.

Conservation landConservation land is set aside to protect, manage and restore areas of high ecological, scientific, cultural or aesthetic values. Environmental protection works and agricultural development is permitted without consent.
Residential LandResidential land allows for homes and indoor/outdoor recreational facilities (with consent)
Private Recreation LandLand is to be used for private open space or recreational purposes. Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities are permitted with consent.
Employment LandEmployment lands provide for retail and commercial land use within Neighbourhood Centres. Approximately 22 hectares and 77 hectares in the North Tralee and Environa areas (south of Jerrabomberra Creek) have been earmarked for future employment land areas.
Development Context
North Tralee(Queanbeyan Development Control Plan 2015)
The desired future character of North Tralee is to provide for business and employment uses, including light industrial to serve the local area whilst protecting and enhancing the riparian corridor of Jerrabomberra Creek.
The area is highly visible and primarily flat so a high quality built form shall be achieved. Jerrabomberra Creek runs through the site, forming the boundary to the north east. Part of the site is flood prone and it is proposed to defer the flood prone land from being rezoned. Riparian controls including separation from the river by providing a buffer is envisaged. The buffer area can be developed for passive and active recreation uses and to provide linkages.

Site History
1920’sResidential planning for the areas south of Jerrabomberra Creek dates back to the 1920’s with ‘Environa’ proposed as the 8th division of the Canberra Freehold Estates.
The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex site area was planned as a golf course and recreation ground.
1970’sA dirt track speedway was built in 1970 to service a growing demand for hosting local and national motor racing events. In 1974 the track was surfaced with bitumen and a motorcycle track was established on the in-field.
Racing continued until the track was closed in 1997.

36 FINAL REVIEWQueanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex May 2019
The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex is located close to the border of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Due to the proximity to Canberra many Queanbeyan sports are played within Canberra Associations.
Queanbeyan’s growing population (36,348 - 2016) has generally exceeded the capacity of the existing sport assets and new purpose built facilities are required to cater for current and future demands and to retain high level players from leaving the local area to pursue their chosen sports.
A staged approach that leverages the commitment and agreements with private developers together with potential state and federal government funding is required to implement the master plan.
The construction of common services including roadways and power, water and sewer connections will be required within the first stages to accommodate the future sports grounds and facility built forms.
Construction of sporting facilities will be prioritised against a matrix of current level of service, capital cost, developer/third party contributions and benefit to the community.
Targeted consultation has been undertaken at a range of levels and with a range of stakeholders in the development of the master plan.
Working GroupThe project working group includes Queanbeyan-Palerang Council staff, members of the consultant urban design and engineering team and members of the Village Building Company development team.
Sporting AssociationsConsultation with the primary hockey and soccer associations has occurred directly with Hockey ACT and Capital Football to gain an appreciation of current sporting trends and any limiting factors in growing participation rates within the region.
Community Sports Council The master plan development has also included multiple presentations to the Sports Council with members from a diverse range of sports that will benefit directly and indirectly from the proposed facilities.
Sporting GroupsAn online survey was utilised to assess the current and future needs of the Queanbeyan community’s existing range of sport and recreation clubs. Responses were sought from all local clubs and teams to provide a sporting ‘snapshot’ of memberships, facilities and future directions.
Community ConsultationFollowing the successful endorsement by Council, the master plan will be displayed for public comment with any feedback and comments considered before the issue of the consolidated master plan and review of funding opportunities.
