Gore Hill Park, bounded by the heritage classified Gore Hill Cemetery and Royal North Shore Hospital, is a prominent and challenging site in St Leonards North Sydney.
The proposed development is to include six indoor sports courts, 150 seat function room, full AFL synthetic grass oval re-surfacing, covered spectator seating for 250 people, oval change rooms (four teams), match day facilities and 250 plus on site car parking spaces.
Three design options explored potential solutions to satisfy the siting requirements and the user group needs and the concept study involved consideration of site analysis, environmental sustainability, transport and traffic, arboriculture, site infrastructure, and building and site layout. The final study was endorsed by Council in late 2014 and is proceeding to Schematic Design.
