Council confirms management change for Central Coast Stadium
May 27, 2022

Central Coast Council has confirmed that VenuesLive will take over management of its Central Coast Stadium, tasked with bringing a diverse offering of sports games and entertainment for the local community to enjoy and a boost to the region’s economy.

Explaining that the Council will continue to own the venue, with it also remaining home to the Central Coast Mariners and their games, Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart stated “VenuesLive will bring their vast industry network to the venue, with the aim of gradually increasing the quantity and diversity of event offerings for the local community to enjoy.

“With VenuesLive having extensive experience in managing some of country’s most high-profile stadiums, I’m confident that a quality program of entertainment and sports events will be ahead at Central Coast Stadium.

“This partnership will allow for the opportunity to attract even more visitors to our region, providing a tourism boost to the local economy and hopefully generate revenue for local businesses.”

VenuesLive Managing Director, Daryl Kerry said the company was delighted to have been appointed operator of Central Coast Stadium and is looking forward to working with stakeholders and the local community to build an exciting new era for the venue.

Kerry commented “Central Coast Stadium is one of Australia’s most picturesque venues and it also has the support of a passionate, vibrant local community who deserve a thriving sport and entertainment precinct.

“We are thrilled to get the opportunity to work with Central Coast Council, the Stadium’s home club the Central Coast Mariners and key business stakeholders on the Coast, but we are also looking forward to listening to the fans who bring the colour, energy and excitement to the events.

“Central Coast Stadium has almost unlimited potential and we want to help take it to the next level and become a highly-successful hub of sport and entertainment, as well as welcoming business, community, charity and cultural activities on the magnificent Central Coast.”

VenuesLive is one of Australia’s largest private stadium operators and is expected to see Central Coast Stadium reach its full potential with a fresh program of events that appeal to large-scale audiences.

The transition of management will start from the start of July 2022.
