Newington College has lodged a masterplan for its Stanmore senior campus. It includes detailed plans for a new sports hall and pavilion on Stanmore Road as the school prepares to go co-educational. Â
The DA covers the 8.7-hectare main campus at 200 – 244 Stanmore Road and the 2,903 sqm Concordia site across the road at 221 – 235 Stanmore Road. Â
It seeks concept approval for four new building envelopes across the campus.Â
Stage 1 replaces the tennis and basketball courts with two buildings totalling 7,409 sqm. This includes a 3-storey sports hall with indoor courts, two rooftop courts, a netball show court, a fitness centre and classroom. Â
Alongside this is a 4-storey pavilion with event and function space, an informal auditorium, learning areas and staff rooms. Â
Later redevelopment plans include a cafeteria, dining hall, lecture theatre, 4-storey teaching building, a performing arts theatre, gallery and exam centre. Â
Newington was founded at Silverwater in 1863 under the Wesleyan Methodist Church and moved to Stanmore in 1881. In 2023, the school announced it would be full co-educational by 2033. Â
