A destination story shaped by community, Country and the coast.
One community. One shared voice.
Stronger together, from the grassroots up.
Yamba Combined Sports Incorporated brings local sporting clubs together with one shared goal: a stronger, more connected future for community sport in Yamba.
Established in 2025, the association gives clubs a coordinated voice, aligns priorities and supports long-term planning for the Ngayundi Yamba Sports Complex. We work with member clubs, Clarence Valley Council, sporting bodies, funding partners and the wider community to turn shared ambition into lasting infrastructure.
This is about more than fields, courts and buildings. It is about creating places where kids can play, families can connect, clubs can grow and the whole community can feel proud.
Our vision
“A connected, future-ready sporting community supported by a modern, inclusive and high-quality multi-sport precinct.”
The Yamba Sports Hub
Planning the future of sport, recreation and community connection.
The Yamba Sports Hub is the destination-led vision for the long-term redevelopment of the Ngayundi Yamba Sports Complex, including the Raymond Laurie Sports Centre and surrounding facilities.
YCSI is coordinating a staged 2025–2032 program spanning feasibility, community engagement, business-case development, design, funding, approvals and future construction. Delivery will rely on strong collaboration between clubs, Council, funding bodies and the community.
