Construction of Joondalup’s new $950,000 amenities facility is now complete
The amenities will service hockey and netball clubs based at HBF Arena
The facilities include male and female bathrooms, and universally accessible toilets

A newly completed amenities block at HBF Arena will provide safer and more accessible bathroom facilities for netball and hockey sporting clubs based at the venue.

The completion of the $950,000 amenities is a State Government election commitment and will service the thriving sports community in the northern suburbs.

The new amenities block includes four female bathrooms with a total of 29 toilets, one male bathroom and two universally accessible toilets with change tables plus a cleaner store.

The completion of the facilities means that players, officials and spectators now have conveniently located essential amenities, without the need to use those inside the venue.

Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:

“The new amenities cater for the thousands of players, officials and spectators that use the netball courts and hockey pitch every year.

“Last year HBF Arena welcomed over 1.4 million visitors, these new facilities help ensure that the appropriate amenities are in place to support the increasing patronage.”

Comments attributed to Joondalup MLA Emily Hamilton:

“These new amenities will support the great sporting facilities already in place at HBF Arena.

“I am so pleased that our local sporting club members and supporters will now have improved convenience when accessing essential facilities at HBF Arena.

“This is a huge win for the Joondalup Netball Association and Joondalup Laker’s Hockey Club that have been working with VenuesWest to deliver this great outcome for their clubs.”

Comments attributed to Joondalup Netball Association President Kerry Collings:

“These new amenities will be of great benefit to Joondalup Netball Association athletes and supporters.

"Having these facilities so close to our courts is a win for our Association. Thank you to all who contributed to making this happen.”

Comments attributed to Joondalup Laker’s Hockey Club President Bryan Angerson:

“The newly constructed facilities will offer essential amenities for both our players and spectators.

“Additionally, this facility will help minimise the time spent away from the hockey pitch during games and training sessions.”
