Bundha Sports Centre
111 Queens Parade, Fitzroy
The Bundha Sports Centre (formerly Fitzroy Gasworks Sports Centre), a multi-purpose indoor sports centre, adjacent to Wurun Senior Campus, is a key element of the Victorian Government’s vision for the Fitzroy Gasworks precinct.
The $54.5 million project is a partnership between the Victorian Government who has contributed $49.5 million, and City of Yarra who has contributed $5 million.
The vertically designed sports centre will provide much-needed sport facilities to Melbourne's inner north. Local jobs are being put first, with a range of local and First Nations businesses and suppliers delivering the project. Find out more.
Built Environs is the construction partner, and is on track to have the facility completed in 2024.
The centre comprises of four courts for competition-level basketball, netball, and volleyball; a multi-purpose court for futsal; a gymnasium; café and lounge area; community facilities; unisex change rooms; a foyer and reception area.
Its integration with Wurun Senior Campus’ two courts will enable shared use of the courts to create a seven-court facility outside of school hours.
Official name announced – Bundha Sports Centre
The innovative Fitzroy Gasworks Sports Centre has been gifted its official name - Bundha Sports Centre - by Wurundjeri Elders, Aunty Dianne Kerr, Aunty Gail Smith and Aunty Julieanne Axford, supported by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation (WWCHAC).
The name ‘Bundha’ means: ‘unity’ and was chosen to reflect how this innovative multi-purpose venue will unite the community by supporting local sports clubs and encourage more of the community to get active.
Construction update
The centre is progressing well, with the roof now installed, and the sports courts, gymnasium, offices and café coming together.
Wall insulation has also been installed and the sports courts timber flooring, supplied and installed by ACE Flooring based in Sunbury, is now in place. Glulam timber beams – beams that are composed of laminated timber that is glued together – supplied by Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH) in Heyfield have also been used as a design feature in the undercroft at the main entrance.
In May 2024 we celebrated the final stages of integrating the centre with Wurun Senior Campus with the completion of the connecting doorway linking the two facilities.
Landscaping works will soon begin as well as the installation of public art.
