At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 21 April 2021, a report was tabled outlining the proposed priorities of all major sporting infrastructure projects currently in Council’s planning.

In relation to this report, Council resolved to:

'Endorse the Hastings Regional Sporting Fields as a major strategic infrastructure project and as such, pursue progression of this project as a standalone item and seek 100% external funding for the construction of the project.'

As at June 2023 Council has completed detailed designs and is seeking funding.

Beginning 2025, minor works will be undertaken to upgrade the existing sewer rising main along the rear of houses fronting Princess Avenue. These works are not an indication of works commencing on the sporting fields.
