Leading international cost management and advisory firm WT has been appointed to deliver quantity surveying services for the $70 million AFL High Performance Centre Project in Hobart, Tasmania.
Located at the Kingston Twin Ovals, the training facility will be the home for Tasmania’s first dedicated AFL and AFLW teams and will also be used for community recreation. It will feature a full-sized oval, multiple grass training areas, and a 9,000-square-meter building. Key amenities will include indoor training spaces, strength and conditioning areas, locker rooms, medical facilities, administrative offices, ample parking, and community access points.
“We’re delighted to bring our local Tasmanian experience and quantity surveying expertise to the AFL High Performance Centre project team,” said Chris Hawkins, WT’s Tasmania State Director. “Our team is very proud to be involved in a project that will support our Tasmania Devils, benefit the wider community and drive economic growth in southern Tasmania.”
The project is scheduled for completion by October 2027, ahead of the 2028 AFL and AFLW seasons.
WT’s expertise, developed over 75 years, spans the building, construction and infrastructure sectors. The firm supports clients with an award-winning team of specialists in portfolio and program advisory, cost management and quantity surveying, commercial advisory, carbon and sustainability, and asset and facilities management.
The firm has worked on several iconic projects across multiple sectors in Tasmania including UTAS Stadium, Blundstone Arena Redevelopment, Hobart Airport, Parliament Square Redevelopment, Cradle Mountain Visitor’s Centre, Hobart Transport Vision, TasPorts Capital Works Program and the Bridgewater Bridge.
