Construction of a new $54.5 million sports facility in Fitzroy has begun – delivering Australia’s first multi-use vertical indoor sports centre.
Designed by Co.Op Studio, the Fitzroy Gasworks Sports Centre will house:
- Four multipurpose highball courts
- A multipurpose futsal court
- A gymnasium
- A cafe and lounge
- Community facilities and change rooms.
Its location adjacent to Wurun Senior Campus will allow integration between the sports centre and the school’s indoor sports courts, creating a six-court facility to operate outside school hours.
The Victorian government and Yarra City Council are funding the project, and Built Environs has been appointed as the head contractor.
Completion is slated for mid-2024.
