The State Government's $163 million investment will transform the current Perth Hockey Stadium site into a world-class facility that will be the official home of Hockey Australia's Centre of Excellence and High-Performance Program.

The purpose-built centre located at Curtin University, will support all levels of hockey, from community games to major national and international competitions.

The Australian Hockey Centre will feature:

  • 4 outdoor pitches with at least two at International Hockey Federation Category 1 international standard
  • a specialist high-performance training centre
  • an indoor hockey centre including two indoor courts
  • and a new 1000 seat stadium with venue capacity to host up to 10,000 spectators in event mode.

The Australian Hockey Centre will also include modern broadcast capabilities, community change rooms, specialist sports lighting, solar panels and administration offices for Hockey WA and Hockey Australia, ensuring it meets both high performance and community needs. It is also being designed to achieve a 5 Star Green Star Certified rating. 

Hockey WA and Hockey Australia will remain onsite and hockey pitches will be available throughout construction of the new facility, ensuring players will be able to continue to train and compete throughout the build.   

The project is expected to support more than 200 jobs and contribute $34.4 million in Gross State Product to Western Australia. 

The new Australian Hockey Centre project is being delivered as part of PlayOn WA, the State Government's initiative to deliver 2,030 community sport and recreation infrastructure items across WA by the year 2030.
