The two new additional change rooms constructed at Central Coast Stadium, built to accommodate multiple team use, were officially opened by Mayor Jane Smith this morning.

Mayor Smith said that with the ever-growing popularity in women’s sport across Australia, these additional change rooms will help attract women’s sporting events to the stadium.

“Being able to provide equal access to our change rooms for women and girls, both on and off the field, is a great step forward for the Central Coast,” said Mayor Smith.

“We would like to see more world-class sporting events at the stadium, and having the capacity to facilitate more sporting codes, particularly for women, is a key driver for that.”

Central Coast Stadium Events Manager, Kath Casey, said that the construction of these change rooms forms part of Central Coast Council’s long term strategy to provide ongoing improvements to the stadium.

“With continual improvement being key to the longevity of the stadium, the delivery of these change rooms is one more way Council has been able to improve this iconic Central Coast asset,” Ms Casey said.

“In addition to providing hirers with more facilities for use, these additional change rooms have now enhanced both the appeal and functionality of the stadium to a wider section of the community, which will, in turn, increase our reputation as a leading sporting, entertainment and recreational venue.”
