Glenorchy Sports Centre

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

Located at the entrance of Claremont College (61 Claremont Link Road, Claremont), the centre will provide a dynamic, inclusive multi-sport environment accommodating a wide range of users and sporting codes including netball, basketball, futsal, volleyball, badminton, pickleball and wheelchair sports.

Key features include:

  • four indoor multi-sport courts, including a dedicated show court
  • dedicated public and administrative areas, including a welcoming foyer, reception, office space and kiosk
  • modern change rooms and amenities, including first aid/wellbeing spaces, parent and sensory rooms, and a registered Changing Places facility
  • three multi-purpose meeting and event spaces, providing adaptable areas for gatherings and club activities
  • secure storage options for users, including standalone rooms, cages, and lockers
  • spectator seating for up to 600 patrons across fixed and portable arrangements, with approximately 300 dedicated seats to the show court
  • parking and transport facilities including:
    • 68 car parks, including three DDA-compliant spaces
    • two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations
    • dedicated drop-off and loading bay
    • motorbike parking and bike racks.

The centre’s designs are being developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and user groups to ensure the facility meets the needs of the community and supports a wide range of users.

Project update 8 November 2025

On 30 October 2025, the project team attended the hearing for the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works. An outcome from the committee is expected by mid-December 2025.

The design phase of the project is now complete, and the Request for Tender for Main Works Construction is now live on the Tasmanian Government Tenders website and is scheduled to close on 17 December 2025.

We continue to work closely with our key stakeholders to deliver this exciting project for the Northern Suburbs and the wider Hobart community.
