New Site Announced For Myuna Bay Sport & Recreation Centre

 BY IAN CROUCH

Almost three years after the Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre was suddenly closed without warning, the state government has decided on a new location for the facility.

The former centre was closed in March 2019 amid concerns lives would be put at risk if the ash dam wall at the nearby Eraring Power Station failed.

Sports Minister Stuart Ayres will join Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper on Thursday this morning to unveil the new site at Morisset between the Hospital and Bonnells Bay Public School.

A site previously proposed by power station operator, Origin Energy at Eraring prompted concerns from local residents about noise, traffic and environmental impacts.
