Residents along Turton and Monash Roads and surrounding streets in New Lambton have filled their neighbourhood with protest signs. They are protesting against the Newcastle Basketball Stadium (a.k.a. Hunter Indoor Sports Centre) proposed for Wallarah and Blackley Ovals. They cite traffic and parking, flooding issues and the loss of green recreation space among the reasons for their opposition. For more on this story and to sign the ePetition to the NSW Legislative Assembly to preserve the ovals as green space turn to pages 10 and 11.
