The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[The Axe of Druss]

point/question was with kayo being privately owned would local gov put money into it. answer is yes, they already did.

the amount value of how much theoretical commitment is another question all together.

Sure, if we are being pedantic but the topic of conversation was upgrading the ground on a massive scale to add capacity etc, not just adding some lighting and painting the home sheds

Australian Government's will pour money into privately owned grounds, I mean we've seen it with Docklands, with Kayo, even Shark Park got $9.6m to build the Monty Porter Stand.

The issue with private grounds will always be where they sit on the priority list (usually well behind public owned assets) and value they bring back to the community in some way.

It's easy for the Vic Government to justify one off investments in Docklands from an economic perspective because of all the events it holds. Kayo was able to get funding thanks to the lack of equivalent venues near by (Sunshine Coast & Perry Park are the closest), the good relationships between the Dolphins and Moreton Bay Regional Council, the small amount they were after ($6.5m) and the lure of events (NRL Games, QCup GF, Roar matches) which they previously didn't have.

Sharks have the issue that they are competing with a lot of other publicly owned stadiums in Sydney, including Kogarah up the road who are asking for more money, they are asking for significant investment and don't seem to be coming with any form of business plan to help.

The club doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Sutherland Shire Council (I might be wrong, but I've seen no one from that council push to upgrade Shark Park, offer to contribute to any funding, etc) nor anyone in state or federal helping push forward the case since Costello.

Marvel Stadium got a big chunk of Vic Gov funding as part of the deal to keep the AFL grand final at the MCG. Thats a massive bargaining chip the AFL had to leverage with

they have an ok relationship with the federal libs,in that they promis things that never get delivered. its working great

i reckon the council are still off them because the sharks managed to go over their heads and get things approved by the state government rather than the council, who weren't going to approve any development at that time.

likewise, the current nsw opposition leader Speakman was straight up anti their plans to develop the land and therefor survive.
wore the scarf in parliament tho. charlatan
