We are starting construction on major upgrades to the sporting fields and facilities at Seymour Shaw Park.

244 The Boulevarde, Miranda, NSW, 2228 - corner of Wandella Road.

Project timeline

Project start:  mid Feb 2025

Expected completion:  Dec 2025

Project background

We are starting construction on major upgrades to the sporting fields and facilities at Seymour Shaw Park, Miranda. The work is part of the next stage of delivering the Seymour Shaw Park Masterplan.

The first stage of the upgrade, the new active youth precinct, was completed and open to the public in November 2023.

Construction of the off-street car park on Wandella Road is already underway to improve safety and accessibility. Work on the carpark is expected to be completed in March 2025.

Consultation with the Miranda community

The Masterplan provides a coordinated and long-term approach to the way open spaces and recreation opportunities are improved into the future and was approved in November 2021 following extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community.

Since the Masterplan was adopted, we have been consulting directly with sports organisations. The future sports facilities will feature high quality turf sports fields, designed to accommodate Cricket, Football (Soccer) and Netball, providing versatile spaces for both recreational and competitive play.

Project scope

The work includes:

  • Levelling of the sporting fields
  • A new amenities building with supporting sport facilities, public toilets and viewing platform
  • Terraced bleacher seating
  • Accessible pathways
  • Tree removal, and planting of new trees and landscaping
  • New lighting.

Project schedule

Site Establishment – mid February 2025

Practical Completion – estimated December 2025 (subject to weather).

Impacts during construction

The fields will be closed during the construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Council we only remove trees when needed, as keeping a ‘green’ Sutherland Shire is important to us and our community.

Our Urban Tree & Bushland Policy requires that we undertake offset planting, as part of any project where trees need to be removed.

108 new trees will be replanted both on the site and elsewhere in the same catchment.

Our design integrates improved planting methods and construction techniques to support tree health.  This includes providing specialised tree pits to improve access to water, nutrients and airflow for the new trees.

We are working with the effected sporting organisations and our clubs to implement alternative arrangements.

There are public toilets available at the southern end (next to the tennis courts).

You can also use the National Toilet Map to locate nearby facilities.
