Background

The Weston Bears Facility Upgrade at Weston Bears Park is part of Council’s ongoing investment in community infrastructure to deliver modern, inclusive and accessible facilities that benefit local sport and community users alike. Weston Bears Park is home to the Weston Bears Football Club, a Newcastle Premier League club, and is utilised daily for football (soccer). The site currently contains a full sized football field, training ground and grandstand with amenities.

In September 2020, Cessnock City Council adopted a Weston Bears Park Masterplan to guide future upgrades and improvements. Council consulted with Weston Bears Football Club, Weston Junior Football Club, Weston Workers Club and the broader community in the development and exhibition of the Masterplan.

Scope of works

The project includes:

  • Refurbishment of the existing grandstand into a new clubroom, canteen, office, and members' space
  • Construction of new team changerooms, referee facilities, and a gym
  • New spectator amenities including toilets and improved access
  • Construction of a new car park and landscaping works

These upgrades will significantly improve the functionality and appeal of the park for players, spectators, and the wider community.

Project schedule & updates

Construction works are scheduled to start on Monday 9 June 2025 with estimated completion in February 2026 (weather permitting).

Funding

This project was made possible with funding support through the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program and Council's Operational Budget.
