JackJumpers High Performance Training Centre

In May 2024, the Tasmanian Government announced plans to relocate the JackJumpers High Performance Training Centre from Wilkinsons Point to the Kingborough Sports Precinct at Kingston View Drive, Kingston.

The High Performance Training Centre will provide training facilities for the JackJumpers, freeing up court space in other facilities currently used by the JackJumpers.

The training centre has been thoughtfully designed to ensure it is accessible and available for community use, fostering inclusivity and engagement with the new facility.

Infrastructure Tasmania, within the Department of State Growth, has been working with the JackJumpers and Kingborough Council to progress the project.

Project Status Update 27 November 2025

Major construction activities at the JackJumpers High Performance Training Centre continue to progress well. We have completed the roofing works, and the external cladding is almost complete, and with these key components coming together, the project remains on track to reach lock-up by Christmas.

Construction commenced in June 2025 and continues to run to schedule, with overall completion expected in mid-2026. Once complete, the Centre will serve as the home of both the Tasmania JackJumpers NBL and WNBL teams.

To coincide with the roofing milestone, representatives from Infrastructure Tasmania, the Tasmanian JackJumpers, Kingborough Council, Fairbrother and subcontractors attended an onsite BBQ acknowledging progress to date. The event provided an opportunity for future users and the construction team to meet and participate in a guided tour of works underway.

The event also raised funds for the Kingston Sea Scouts, who have generously supported the project by providing their clubrooms as a temporary site office during construction.

Building on existing engagement activities with Beacon Foundation and Kingston High School, Fairbrother also hosted Year 9 and 10 Design and Technologies students from St Virgil’s College in early November. Students toured the facility, spoke with project managers and construction staff, and observed how classroom learning connects with industry practice. These activities reflect the broader community benefits of the project, including support for education and future career pathways for young Tasmanians.

From 5 January 2026, TasWater infrastructure upgrades supporting the new JackJumpers High Performance Training Centre will begin and continue for approximately 6 weeks. There will be minor impacts to residents and road users in the vicinity of Nolan Crescent, Summerleas Road and the Huon Highway, we are working closely with affected stakeholders to minimise disruption.

Further information and updates will be provided as the High Performance Training Centre continues to take shape.
