Council’s strategic planning for indoor facilities identifies the establishment of a six-facility network across Wyndham, which is expected to welcome more than five million visitors each year.

As Eagle Stadium and AquaPulse have proven, these facilities will be critical community hubs for physical activity, mental health and social connection and places that make residents proud to live in Wyndham. They will be destination facilities that showcase Wyndham as a leader of sport and recreation in Melbourne’s west and further beyond.

The Tarneit Indoor Sport Facility, located on Derrimut Road within the Tarneit Major Town Centre (MTC), is planned to be a significant Indoor Stadium that will service the indoor sport participation, health and wellbeing needs of residents in the north of the municipality.

The design phase is a critical process to transform facility and community needs into design specifications and plans.

When it comes to securing construction funding from partners, we know a project that is designed and ready to commence construction will be seen more favourably than a project which isn't.

The plans for the Facility have been developed in accordance with the evidence base, key directions and objectives of the Active Wyndham Strategy and Wyndham Sports Strategy.

These are Council’s key strategies that drive outcomes which support Wyndham residents to lead physically active lifestyles for health and wellbeing.

The Facility will include:

• Six indoor multi-use sport courts
• A regional gymnastics centre
• Multipurpose dry programming rooms that could include activities like Dance, Group Fitness Classes, Martial Arts, Pilates and Yoga. Other uses could include meetings and seminars.
• A cafe
• Office administration areas and amenities

• Land and facilities outside of the proposed plan
• Non-stadium-based leisure and sporting activities (including aquatic activities)

• Education and development for 200,000 children annually across weekly gymnastics classes and school programs.
• Around 750,000 visitations each year.
• Gender equitable programming for active participation at the facility.
• Targeted programs are delivered which provide access to segments of the community facing barriers to access and at risk of being physically inactive.
• Participation growth for dominant indoor court sports – basketball and netball.
• Major participation growth for non-dominant indoor court sports – badminton, table tennis and volleyball.
• Attraction of regular regional sporting and community events.

Funding to construct the facility will require contributions from a number of partners. Council will explore multiple funding avenues to support the future delivery of the facility.
