flag Newcastle's Wests Group seeks a 2027 Super Netball franchise, pending a new 12,000-seat stadium.

flag Newcastle’s Wests Group is preparing to bid for a Super Netball franchise in 2027, contingent on building a new 12,000-seat indoor stadium in Broadmeadow as part of the Hunter Park redevelopment. flag The bid, led by CEO Phil Gardner, follows discussions with Netball Australia and aims to bring elite netball back to the Hunter region, which last hosted a national team in 2007. flag A key hurdle is the outdated Newcastle Entertainment Centre, deemed inadequate for a top-tier team. flag Strong local support, including sold-out international matches, underscores demand. flag The final decision on new franchises will come after a formal expression of interest before Christmas, likely tied to a new broadcast deal.
