This precinct is bounded by the existing Tamworth urban area to the north, Goonoo Goonoo Road to the east, Burgmanns Lane to the south and Arcadia residential estate to the west.

The key considerations for the structure plan include:

Identify the Old Athletics Track as a key site which should include uses such as tourist and visitor accommodation, food and drink premises and other landuses which support the AELEC and surrounding sporting precinct in accordance with the zone objectives.

Reinforce the need for an integrated transport hub to service the precinct. This hub would include a bus interchange, taxi rank and amenities.

Identify a potential new road connection to Greg Norman Drive to alleviate congestion when events are held at the sporting and entertainment facilities.

Identify potential medium density residential development, clubhouse renovation and tourist and visitor accommodation on the Longyard Golf Course.

Utilise the existing road network to establish an active transport network within the precinct that connects to the wider area, including the Longyard Commercial Centre and Arcadia Estate.

Ensure the ongoing operation of the AELEC is not jeopardised by future adjoining landuses.

Provide a more pedestrian friendly environment by incorporating traffic calming measures and increased landscaping within the precinct.

Identity a draft Special Entertainment Precinct boundary.
