Darcy Byrne, mayor of the Inner West Council, has criticized the Wests Tigers’ plan to erect a 20,000-seat stadium in Liverpool, a suburb of Sydney.
The initiative is still in its early stages, but Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun told 2GB that it had been in the works for a while.
It would be with a view to making Liverpool the Tigers’ permanent home, in a facility on the corner of the Hume Highway and Remembrance Avenue, in the heart of the city’s southwest.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the idea is dependent on the construction of 3000 additional flats on the site, a combination of private, public, and build-to-rent homes from which the money raised would be used to pay for the stadium.
The proposal, however, was slammed as “ridiculous” by Inner West Council Mayor Darcy Byrne, whose Council is responsible for the Tigers’ spiritual home at the ageing Leichhardt Oval.
