Works at Perth’s HBF Arena to include new amenities and family leisure pool refurbishment

HBF Arena in the northern Perth suburb of Joondalup is set to benefit from the construction of a new $950,000 amenities facility while its family leisure pool is about to undergo a refurbishment.

Local builder Brausch has been engaged to deliver new bathroom facilities that will service members of the community who regularly use the netball courts and hockey pitch to the north of the site.

The already underway work, which will also include two Universally Accessible Toilets and a cleaner store, is expected to be completed in September of this year.

Currently, the nearest facilities available to the users of the hockey and netball areas are inside the VenuesWest venue.

Set to benefit the thriving sports community in the northern suburbs the development aims to improve safety and reduce the impact on training and tournaments alike.

Commenting on the additions, Western Australian Sport and Recreation Minister, David Templeman stated “the new amenities will be universally accessible so all visitors to HBF Arena will have access.

“HBF Arena now has nearly 1.5 million patrons every year. Having additional facilities located closer to the netball courts and hockey pitches will ensure that the ever-growing community sport users at HBF Arena will be properly serviced.”

Leisure pool refurbishment
Having awarded the contract for the refurbishment of the family leisure pool at HBF Arena, VenuesWest  has advised that works will commence on Thursday 18th May

With the entire pool to be emptied, the facility’s 25m leisure lanes and waterslide will be closed.

Commenting on the project, VenuesWest advised on social media “this will be a long project and at this early stage, exact completion dates are not confirmed.

“We anticipate that works will be complete by early October, however this is subject to change.”
