Negotiations clear path for national hockey centre in Perth
Negotiations are now complete for the construction of the Hockey Australia Centre of Excellence, allowing a state-of the-art hub for hockey to be established at Curtin University in Bentley.
The WA Government recently signed the Development Deed with Curtin University finalising the land tenure negotiations.
A ground lease between Curtin University and VenuesWest, who will own the facility on behalf of the State once built, has also been confirmed.
In December 2022, Hockey Australia announced the WA Government was successful in its bid with Hockey WA to have Perth remain Australia's home of hockey for the next 18 years.
The Perth Hockey Stadium at Curtin University will now be transformed into a world-class, purpose-built national hockey centre with the design led by consultants Hunt Architects.
Design has continued to advance alongside the ongoing land tenure negotiations and is now well underway.
The upgraded facility will boast four international hockey pitches and an indoor hockey centre with the major stadium to include seating for up to 10,000 spectators in event mode.
The central location at Curtin University provides supporting amenities, and is in close proximity to transport hubs, work hubs and accommodation needs.
