What's going to happen at KoJo

[blue bags]

Love the vision, but can’t see any of that happening.

Why not ?
Sydney southern area's
Needs a really modern stadium
Alot of Sports. Uses Kogarah oval now
Cause it's best southern stadium
Thinking of the future

400 home unit's
In a high density
High rise block
Sold. Be worth $2million each
That's $800 million
That's enough for a SFS style stadium
With state and federal government funding as well . Nothing stays the same these days
Needs to evolve with the future
What's to happen at Kogarah oval in the Next 50 years ? The same as the last 50 years?

You forget a few important points.
1. It is crown land and part council owned land for the community and facilities. You wont get apartments
2. The cost to build all that, even if you build 400 units you wont get $2 mill x 400 for each unit there.

Very simplistic way to think about it, we won't count, planning, building cost, commissions, tax and all other costs/fees associated with building and selling 400 units

While we can all dream of a brand spanking new stadium, it ain't happening. No government or private developer is going to fork out the best part of $1bn to build a new stadium at Carlton/kogarah for 1 team that plays there 5 or 6 times a year. I can't see any other team or usage of the stadium that would justify its cost.

 

[Trifili13]

I can't see how you would average $2m for units in a block on Princes Hwy. The lower level units would go for much less, meaning the higher ones would need to go for say $5m plus, totally unrealistic, even in the current inflated housing market. These are prices for apartments on the waterfront or prestige suburbs, which Carlton/Kogarah certainly ain't.

Also, let's say 4 units to a level, that's 10 levels, and given the new apartment buildings that have sprung up along Princes Hwy none are that high so I would say it would exceed height restrictions. At 2 or 3 units a level that's a 13 to 20 storey building, can't see it being allowed.

The land is worth an absolute fortune
Billions $$$$

Build a massive brand new leagues club
And high rise. High density
Home Units. All modern
And build a brand new SFS like stadium on the golf course
Then the current leagues club can be a casino
Think BIG idea's

What did Beverly Park golf course ever do to you BB ! That’s about 4 planning portfolios required that even if approved would take a decade to even get to this stage. Are they throwing 60 million at the League’s club anyhow ?

The original plan in 1940 1950s was for the stadium to be built on the land where the golf course is

Are you sure ? The league’s club was built on land where there was .soccer fields

Yes that's right
The planned rugby league ground. Stadium
Was going to be on the land where the golf course is. But the BIG but. That messed plan's up
Were a few home owners refused to sell their property to dragons club. Especially 1 home owner. An old Lady who refused every offer to sell. And she was very annoyed about over many years of Sports Balls landing in her backyard. Makes sense. Soccer ball's in her yard. And she was very annoyed about the noise of the building of the leagues club.
. I was told about this by a very Old man relative . Many many Times. Who is long gone
Who was there. And involved
Dragons history could have been different
If plans went forward. Ohh well thats part of life. If only things didn't happen that way
The Old leagues club was at the intersection of Rocky point road. Princess' highway
Where the school is now. Or used to be

Just a few 100 metres away from the current leagues club
