On Monday night, councillors will consider the plan that aims to boost sports and major events in the city while adding up to $10.5 million to the economy per year.
The plan includes new oval stands, a reconfigured tennis centre, improved outdoor swimming, the creation of a 'sporting hub' and better parking and links to Wagga's central business district.
Wagga Tigers president Anthony Lyons said the master plan would benefit "all football supporters" and would pave the way to host more major sporting events like the Sheffield Shield and AFL games.
"We thought the council's move to do a grand plan was far-sighted," he said.
"We understand that it won't all happen at the same time but it will stop the ad-hoc approach of the past, where things would get done and redone and then have to get done again.
"There won't be any wasted resources in moving towards a pretty good complex."
A report to councillors stated the cost of implementing the full plan at $65,013,550 "which is mostly unfunded".
More than $8.7 million has been identified in the council's long-term financial plan to help fund the master plan, including $1.87 million in borrowings.
Wagga District Cricket Association president Eriz Koetz said the feedback he gave to the council was that the plan needed to include a 'centre of excellence'.
"If they are going to redevelop the basketball stadium, then the centre would allow us to have winter indoor training facilities and could also include office space for Cricket NSW; it would be a multi-use facility," he said.

Wagga Futsal coach Sam Gray said he had requested better bus access to bring school students to Bolton Park.
"It would mean that their parents could pick them up after work," he said.
The cost of developing the master plan itself was $122,907 for "engagement of consultants" and community and stakeholder engagement, coming in lower than the expected $150,000.
"During the public exhibition period 33 public submissions were received," the council report stated.
"Many of the issues raised related to aspects of the detailed design of the various master plan elements.
"These issues will be addressed further during the business case and design phases prior to implementing each of the master plan elements."
The council also noted that much of the feedback was positive support from the swimming, water polo and diving communities.
