Originally opened in 2000 as an indoor host for local winter sport, the stadium decided to undergo significant redevelopment and expansion in 2014, to allow for a more diverse venue offering. Today, ILT Stadium continues to show great commitment to local, domestic, and international sport, as well as recreational, cultural, corporate and entertainment events. ILT Stadium is designed to cater for a wide range of events including conferences, exhibitions, and trade shows- but it’s so much more than just a venue. Acting as home base for 12 sporting organisations and host for a plethora of community events, the stadium is truly versatile. The complex includes ten community courts set up for netball, basketball, volleyball, netball, and tennis, four squash courts with double-court conversion abilities, a ‘Clip n Climb’ wall with 15 available climbs, a high-performance training centre, associated drug testing facility rooms and dedicated baby change facilities, four Legends corporate lounges, and an international indoor velodrome with an extra two corporate lounges.
