Controversial $21m sports hub scrapped in wake of backlash
By Liam Murphy
A controversial plan to build a new sports hub worth more than $21 million on the shores of Lake Joondalup has been scrapped by the City of Wanneroo after widespread community backlash.
The council voted 10–1 on Tuesday night to go back to the drawing board and abandon the Scenic Park site in favour of exploring other locations and focusing on upgrades to the existing Wanneroo Recreation Centre.
