Tigers chair Lee Hagipantelis and Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun met NSW Sports Minister Steve Kamper earlier in the week to pitch the plan to government.
The Wests Tigers, in partnership with Liverpool Council, have approached the NSW government with a proposal to build a 20,000-seat stadium in the heart of Liverpool CBD to make it the club’s permanent home.Hagipantelis and Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun met NSW Sports Minister Steve Kamper earlier in the week to pitch the plan to government.
The plan would depend on up to 3000 new apartments being built on the site, with a mixture of private homes, public housing and build-to-rent properties.The Tigers would play up to two games per year out of Leichhardt Oval, with the rest to be played out of Liverpool. It is hoped the revenue from developing the land into apartments would offset the majority of the cost of building the stadium. It is estimated the maximum cost to taxpayers would be less than $100 million.If the Oasis site was re-zoned, allowing residential redevelopment, the Bulldogs, who own the land, could be in for an estimated windfall of $40 million-$50 million if they decided to sell.
