If you read the articles the buildings have already been built and opened so not it wont be at the COE which is a damn shame.

Saw my son play last night at Soccer5s. It's a very quick game - quicker than normal indoor soccer. Still a lot of work to do in the area but at least it is up and running.

 

[shipwreck]

Jealous of you guys, would LOVE to get involved in a Soccer5s team during the Summer but I live in Newcastle, does anyone know what comps are running/when they are running/if its too late to join?

 

[T]

There are comps Mon - Thurs at least, Mens, O35's Mixed and Ladies....

 

[Bex]

It's close to Tuggerah station and most express trains stop there

A bit of an update...the COE building will be opening in March...exciting stuff! I was lucky enough to have a walk through of the new Soccer5s building, their new 7's pitch and have a brief look through the new Mariners office...it's all looking awesome!

Nice to hear
Did you see any contract extensions in the name of Mr G Arnold or Mr T Rogic lying around the Mariners office?

Yeah it looks good so far. However it is mostly the Soccer 5's facilities that are close to completion. COE needs cash.
Soccer 5's is great John and his team are making great in roads in the Central Coast football community.

 

[marinermick]

Great bloke John is but a bit whistle happy when he refs.

 

[awaba]

so the finished looking building behind the courts is actually Soccer5s? Wow its going to be a great facility once all the CoE stuff gets moving as well.

Yep, it's gonna be pretty sweet.

 

[elevated position]

tendering has happened on the pool and players building

 

[garlo]

Yeah had a look through it last night ...gonna be a great place for away games and the like ...very excited !

No it was built by Mariners Development PTY LTD... we think?
It was not paid for by Soccer 5's

 

[FFC Mariner]

Away games planned at Soccer5's until they found out foxtel would cost $15k to install and $3k a month fee.

Dodgy stream, laptop and projector seems a good plan

Shame as it would be a great facility for away games, few beers, BBQ and football

 

[shipwreck]

That is a damn shame, I would happily go there for away games rather than cram into the smelly leagues club...

Imagine being able to play a few small sided games before and after?!

In the interest of finding out exactly wtf is going on with the COE, I've done a bit of searching on the intarwebs and found a fair bit of info from the Wyong Council site. I'm just chucking it all in this post, and adding information found from links pasted in other threads, to try and keep it all in one spot. Feel free to reply with any additional info you might find!

Development Applications for 1 Bryant Dr TUGGERAH NSW 2259 here. DA-612-2009 (COE).

(edit - if those links don't work, just do a search on 1 Bryant Dr TUGGERAH and it will come up)


I've attached a pdf labelled D01947556 (25/06/2009) SEE Statement of Environmental Effects - DA N... on that page, it seems to give the best overview, along with plans.

And a summary of the other documents with dates submitted;

16/05/2011

Deferment of DA/612/2009/A condition 50 until 'Prior to Occupation' stage. Refer attached consolidation documents of lots 24, 25 + 21. Proposed easements to lots 80-84 is shown on attached drawing 1126S96(B)01'A'.

13/07/2011

Modification of condition 24 to permit payment of section 94 fees for Stage 1 to be deferred to occupation certificate stage

This one seems to be the same as 01/07/2011 but with more information on the staging changes...

02/08/2011

Project staging revised. Stage 1 to include indoor pool, additional 45 carspaces and the upgrading of Wyong Rd / Bryant Drive roundabout.


Proposed amendment

The proposed amendment comprises of a revision to the staging of the development. Stage 1 is revised to include the indoor pool component only (Part A) of building 1 (the Accommodation component - Part B to remain as stage 3) additional 45 car spaces and the upgrading of Wyong Road and Bryant Drive roundabout.


The proposed staging of the project is as follows:

Stage 1

Grandstand amenities buildings, ten futsal courts, on site detention tank, refurbishment of existing club. Indoor pool component of accommodation building (Building 1), car parking for 133 cars, and the upgrading of Wyong Road and Bryant Road roundabout.


Stage 2

Building 3: Administration building and car parking for 137 cars


Stage 3

Building 1: Accommodation building (Part B) and car parking for 17 cars


Stage 4

Building 4: Grandstand, training field and car parking for 265 cars

The reason for additional scope of works for Stage 1 is due to an increase in available funding from the Federal Government for the Mariners Center of Excellence project.

Existing DA/612/2009 Minor changes to the Indoor Pool Building (596 612/2009/D)

http://wotnews.com.au/announcement/sabina_corporation_cancels_unit_investment_in_mariners_development_trust/01245266/

The project is scheduled for completion by August 2013 and is under the day to day management control of Mr Peter Turnbull. The development known as “Centre of Excellence” has also been given a Federal Government Grant of $10 million towards the community-related portion of the overall development.

Federal Grant approved 16/12/2011 $11,000,000 (incl GST)

 

[Marquee]

So according to that the grandstand is still on the agenda, albeit at the last stage. Perfectly reasonable to me.
