Nijlân Sports Centre to be expanded with 3 hall sections
Nijlân Sports Centre will be expanded with another 3 hall sections. This will create more room for the physical education provided by secondary schools and for training and competitions organised by sports associations. The expansion will be fleshed out in more detail over the coming period. This page contains more information about the goal, the process and the schedule.
Why are we doing this?
The goal of expanding the sports centre is to:
- create room for the physical education provided by secondary schools;
- create room for training and competitions organised by sports associations.
The process so far
The city council made a budget available for the project in December 2025.
In the first quarter of 2026, users of Nijlân Sports Park, users of the existing sports centre and the district panel were informed of the intention to expand the sports centre.
In the third and fourth quarter of 2026, the urban planning preconditions and needs and wishes for education and sports will be mapped out. It will also be investigated how much room the different functions will require and how this can be made to fit within the available plot.
Planning
- 2026 Q4: final Schedule of Requirements;
- 2027 Q1 + Q2: European tendering pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Conditions for Integrated Contracts 2025 (UAV-GC);
- 2027 Q3 + Q4: designs, applying for permits;
- 2028 Q1–Q3: work planning and construction.
