Glenorchy Sports Centre

Infrastructure Tasmania is delivering the highly anticipated new Glenorchy Sports Centre, a modern facility to enhance community sport and recreation in Hobart’s northern suburbs.

Located at the entrance of Claremont College, on Claremont Link Road, the centre will provide a dynamic, inclusive multisport environment accommodating a wide range of users and sporting codes, including netball, basketball, futsal, volleyball, badminton, pickleball and wheelchair sports.

The Glenorchy Sports Centre will feature:

  • four indoor multisport courts, including a dedicated show court
  • spectator seating for up to 600 patrons across fixed and portable arrangements, with approximately 300 dedicated seats to the show court
  • three multipurpose meeting and event spaces, providing adaptable areas for gatherings and club activities
  • secure storage options for users, including standalone rooms, cages and lockers
  • modern change rooms and amenities, including first aid/wellbeing spaces, parent and sensory rooms, and a registered Changing Places facility for people with high support needs
  • dedicated public and administrative areas, including a welcoming foyer, reception, office space and kiosk
  • 68 car parks, including three spaces for disability parking, two electric vehicle charging stations, dedicated drop-off and loading bay, motorbike parking and bike racks
  • easy access to public transport at the new Claremont Park and Ride.

The centre’s designs have been developed in consultation with state sporting organisations, local sporting clubs and disability groups. This will ensure the facility meets the needs of the community and supports a wide range of users.
