New images revealed for Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre

Tenderstream member Populous has been appointed as the principal architect for the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre in Australia, with new artist impressions offering a look at the future Olympic and Paralympic Games venue and community hub. Slated as a venue for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the centre will feature 12 multi‑use indoor courts designed to support the growing demand for indoor sports across the region, including basketball, netball, volleyball, futsal, pickleball and wheelchair rugby.

Populous’ design highlights the local landscape and lifestyle, with a concept that 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 newly released artist impressions offer a first look at the scale, flexibility and community focus of the design, which feature an indoor sports hub complemented by outdoor green spaces, athlete's amenities, and a café.

Offering a Games‑time capacity of up to 10,000 spectators, the centre will also have the potential to host major events and community activities beyond 2032. Lead architect on the project, Populous Principal Brayden Goodwin, stated: "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."

The centre is part of the 7.1bn AUD Games Venues Infrastructure Program, delivered by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA). Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027, as planning and design continue to progress. GIICA CEO Simon Crooks said: “Today’s announcement of Populous as the Principal Architect adds to the growing list of the multi-award-winning architecture teams bringing their expertise and imagination to our venues across the state.”
