Music festivals, open-air concerts, firework displays and stunt exhibition shows could entertain thousands of people at Campbelltown Sports Stadium every week of the year, with grand aspirations in motion to bring the Leumeah precinct to life.
Campbelltown Council has lodged plans to expand the precinct’s potential, paving the way for it to become the Macarthur region’s sports and entertainment capital.
The Moore Park-style vision would see the sports and entertainment hub host up to 46 non-sporting events a year, as well as more than a dozen Macarthur FC home fixtures.
Possible events include food and wine festivals, motorsport spectaculars, animal farms and more.
Council city lifestyles director Jenny Franke said the success of last month’s Crusty Demons live show pointed to the untapped potential of the precinct.
“Leumeah has been identified within the NSW Government’s Glenfield to Macarthur Urban Renewal Corridor plan as a sports and entertainment hub for the region,” she said.
“Leveraging of recent successful festivals and events like the Super X Australasian Championships, Christmas Carols, Crusty Demons and major sport events; the current development application will streamline the approval process and help to attract more large scale events.”
Planning documents suggest the precinct, which includes the athletics track and stadium carpark, could stage five music acts a year.
The plans are currently on public exhibition and will be determined by the Campbelltown Local Planning Panel.
