Construction progress
Overview
We are delivering a new sports precinct for Macarthur Heights – an important recreation space designed to support sport, connection and healthy lifestyles for local residents and the broader community.
Construction started in early 2025 to level the site and complete bulk earthworks. Work has continued in May 2026 with the sportfields and landscaping now under construction. The amenities building is a separate package of works which we expect to commence later this year. We are in the process of selecting a Contractor for the amenities building, once the contract is awarded, we will provide further details of the construction program for these works. We are focused on delivering the works as efficiently as possible, however, construction of the sportsfields is complex.
We expect works to be finished in 2027. The package of works has been split to allow the construction of the sportsfields to progress ahead of the amenities building and to provide access to areas of open space to the community as early as possible.
We are committed to providing regular construction updates on our website as work progresses.
