Bundha Sports Centre is Australia’s first multi-level community indoor court facility, offering sports and recreation opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels in Melbourne’s inner north.
As a key part of the Victorian Government’s vision for the Fitzroy Gasworks urban precinct redevelopment, Bundha Sports Centre is integrated with Wurun Senior Campus, enabling a shared-use arrangement which expands the Centre into a seven-court facility outside school hours.
The Centre features a multi-purpose futsal court at ground level, alongside a welcoming entry, community lounge, café, and multi-purpose space, with a mezzanine level above the foyer housing a 24-hour gym and change facilities. The two upper levels each contain two multi-purpose courts for community basketball, netball, and volleyball, as well as social-level badminton.
The Bundha Sports Centre was gifted its official name by Aunty Gail Smith, with the support of Aunty Di Kerr, Aunty Julieanne Axford, and the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation (WWCHAC). ‘Bundha’, meaning ‘unity’, reflects the Centre’s role in bringing the community together by supporting local sports clubs and encouraging active participation.
With construction now complete, final landscaping works are underway.
