Kogarah finally gains six home games

7 December 2006

The St.George Bank Dragons have announced that Kogarah's Jubilee
Stadium will host six Dragons' home games in 2007. It will be the
first season since the formation of the St.George-Illawarra joint
venture that Jubilee Stadium has hosted more than five matches.

While WIN Stadium has been allocated seven Dragons' games once
again, the six NRL matches at Kogarah is positive news for the
St.George District's paramount sporting facility, as Kogarah has at
last gained something close to an equitable share of home games.

The six Kogarah matches are the following:

Round 2 - Knights - 23 March - OKI Jubilee Stadium (Friday, 7:30 pm)
Round 5 - Storm - 14 April - OKI Jubilee Stadium (Saturday, 5:30 pm)
Round 8 - Panthers - 4-7 May - OKI Jubilee Stadium
Round 12 - Broncos - 1-4 June - OKI Jubilee Stadium
Round 13 - Sharks - 8-11 June - OKI Jubilee Stadium
Round 16 - Sea Eagles - 29 June - 2 July - OKI Jubilee Stadium

The Kogarah matches have been scheduled for early in the 2007 season
to accommodate further redevelopment works so that the venue can be
refurbished in time for the 2008 season.

Today was the last day where feedback could be received by Kogarah
Council on Development Application 457/06. R2K representatives sent
correspondence to Kogarah Council to support the extension of the
existing grandstand northwards to replace the existing temporary
seating and the extension of the grandstand south across the
existing "Legends Slab". The feedback to Kogarah Council emphasised
that the extension and upgrade of the existing grandstand is in the
best interests of the Kogarah Municipality.

Legend's Slab?

Reflecting Council's language from the business papers so they knew what they we were talking about in the submissions.

Interesting. Thanks for that R2K.

Good to see the museum getting included. And they got the team name right.

The period of 14 days notice is a policy, not a legislative requirement. Council, as trust manager, does not need to do anything more than notify the Department of lands (and thus the Minister acting for the owner - the Crown).

Technically there is no opportunity for the Crown, etc to object, but it's nice form to have the 14 days notice - the trust manaer can legally advise the owner 2 minutes before lodgement.
