Located within the revitalised Moreton Bay Central precinct, the new Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre will feature 12 multi‑use indoor courts designed to support the growing demand for indoor sports across the Moreton Bay region, including basketball, netball, volleyball, futsal, pickleball and wheelchair rugby. With a Games-time capacity of up to 10,000 spectators, the facility is also designed to host major sporting events, entertainment, and community activities, serving the needs of the local residents as well as clubs and schools beyond 2032.

Located within the Moreton Bay Central precinct, the centre, to be designed by Populous’ Brisbane team, will include a café, athlete amenities, and outdoor green spaces, positioning it as a central destination within the Moreton Bay Central precinct and a key piece of social infrastructure for the growing region.

Populous’ design highlights the local landscape and lifestyle. The concept focuses on capturing breezes and light, as well as complementing the indoor activity with outdoor spaces for the community to gather, play and celebrate.

The project forms part of the $7.1 billion Games Venues Infrastructure Program, jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments, and delivered by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA). 

Populous Principal Brayden Goodwin, the project’s lead architect, observes that the design prioritises long-term community benefit.

“Moreton Bay is one of the fastest-growing regions in Queensland. As one of the largest facilities of its kind in South East Queensland, the new Centre will help address the increasing community demand for indoor sports facilities in the region and will be designed by Populous with legacy in mind,” Goodwin says. 

Local council is already undertaking early works on site. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027, as planning and design continue to progress toward a Games‑ready venue in 2032
