Project Update

The City is progressing with the detailed design for the Wanneroo Recreation Centre New Sports Hub, located at Scenic Park, Wanneroo.

The new Sports Hub is designed to support a wide range of recreational and community activities, with a strong focus on accessibility, inclusivity and providing long-term benefits to serve our growing community.

Community engagement was previously undertaken during the concept design phase of the project in 2023, following earlier consultation with stakeholders and user groups between 2019 and 2022. This updated design now presents a more detailed vision of the facility layout, including the building footprint and surrounding landscape.

Key changes to the building’s appearance and layout have been made to enhance user experience and improve accessibility. Additionally, the updates ensure environmental and bushfire safety compliance, strengthen connectivity with the nearby Wanneroo Recreation Centre and better support the community’s functional needs.

A copy of the updated design, which is now available for viewing, has been moved eastward to mitigate high-risk bushfire exposure and retains high value trees along Scenic Drive. It also includes changes to the building’s appearance and layout to enhance user experience and improve accessibility.

The City anticipates that construction of the new Sports Hub will commence in June 2026.

Background

In response to previous community consultation and a Needs and Feasibility Study completed in 2019, it was identified that upgrades were required to the existing Wanneroo Recreation Centre. This included the addition of two indoor multi-sport courts to better support local sporting activities and community groups.

The City has since secured $5 million in State Government funding to support the upgrades, which will be delivered in two key stages:

  • Stage 1 - The design and construction of a new Sports Hub; and
  • Stage 2 - Redeveloping the existing Wanneroo Recreation Centre into a Community Hub.

Following continued planning and investigations for the development of Stage 1, the City undertook community engagement during the concept design phase for the Wanneroo Recreation Centre New Sports Hub.

As the project progressed into the detailed design phase, key changes were made to the building’s appearance and functional layout to enhance user experience, improve accessibility, and ensure alignment with environmental and bushfire safety requirements. These updates have influenced both the facility’s location and the design of the surrounding landscape.

The updated detailed design now reflects these changes and is being shared to keep the community informed of the project’s progress.

The City anticipates that construction of the new Sports Hub will commence in June 2026.
