The new sports centre will officially open in early 2026, with four competition standard basketball, netball, and volleyball courts, a multi-purpose futsal court, a large gymnasium, cafe and lounge area and other community spaces.

Clublinks will operate the centre in the iconic Fitzroy Gasworks precinct in a long-term agreement, utilising their expertise in maintenance and asset renewal programs as part of the centre’s operation.

Clublinks CEO, Anthony Lawrence stated they are delighted to be given the opportunity to deliver brilliant customer experiences that align with the quality of the Bundha Sports Centre.

‘We are excited to facilitate opportunities for the community to participate in sport, recreation and fitness at this beautiful facility,” he said via press release.

“While Bundha is primarily a sports centre, it will deliver wonderful connection, unity and community benefit to Melbourne’s inner north.”

Construction of the Bundha Sports Centre was announced last year, Development Victoria released a statement reading the $54.5 million project would be delivered by a range of local and businesses and suppliers.

Additionally, the Victorian Government invested $49.5 million into the centre, complemented by a $5 million contribution from Yarra City Council.
