Cr Brett Treby said he was happy to support the plan for the building.
“It’s a fantastic recommendation and some long-awaited and well-deserved facilities,” he said.
Cr Domenic Zappa said local sporting groups would be “ecstatic” to hear about it.
The City has listed $668,000 in the 2016-17 capital works budget for the project, which includes a $210,000 State Government grant and a $421,000 loan borrowing from the State treasury.
Construction is expected to start in May next year and be completed by January 2018.
