The State Basketball Centre upgrade will create one of Australia’s leading basketball facilities and support the continued growth of basketball and gymnastics at local and elite levels.

The project delivers 10 new indoor community courts, comprehensive training facilities for high-performance basketball including WNBL and NBL teams, gymnastics facilities, administration facilities to support sports organisations and an outdoor town square.

The project will also provide new offices for Basketball Victoria, Knox Basketball Inc., Deakin Melbourne Boomers (WNBL), South East Melbourne Phoenix (NBL) and Basketball Australia. The gymnastics centre at the State Basketball Centre will replace the existing facility in Ferntree Gully and address the large waiting lists for training and competition in the region.

The project responds to increasing demand for quality sporting facilities in the Knox area and will service everyone from local players to Australian representative athletes while transforming the broader precinct into the premier sports park for Melbourne’s South East.

We provided full quantity surveying services for the project.
