Kalgoorlie Basket Ball Association

ACorp was awarded the Construction Management Contract for the redevelopment of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder basketball stadium. This transformative project has significantly upgraded both the scale and standard of the facility, now positioning it as a premier sporting venue in regional Western Australia. The redevelopment included the removal of existing changeroom facilities and outdoor courts, making way for a state-of-the-art 3,030m² extension. The new facility now offers seating for more than 1,000 spectators, supporting both local and elite-level competition.
A key structural feature of the expansion is an 11.5-metre-high steel portal frame, clad in prefinished profiled metal sheeting. Inside, two new FIBA-compliant timber basketball courts were installed. The ceiling incorporates Durapanel acoustic linings, structurally integrated with the steel frame to form a prefinished acoustic surface that enhances both player performance and spectator experience.
Overall the redevelopment of the stadium included:

• structural repair and refurbishment of the existing three court stadium;
• two additional indoor courts to accommodate basketball, volleyball, and netball – one as a show court with tiered spectator seating;
• four new player changerooms, with access to toilets and showers;
• public toilets, including universal access toilets;
• referee room with toilet and shower facilities;
• dedicated first aid room;
• canteen with servery and large function space;
• administration office and multiple meeting rooms;
• clubroom and corporate seating space; and
• increased storage space.

Externally, a 120-bay car park was constructed with integrated water flow management to protect the structure and surrounding environment.

Under the construction management contract model, Acorp Construction worked collaboratively with the client and stakeholders throughout the project. This allowed:

• Flexibility in contractor selection
• Iterative design refinement
• Cost-effective decision-making to align with budget requirements
• Optimisation of construction outcomes through real-time input

The result is a greatly enhanced playing and spectating experience at a community facility that is the home court for the Goldfields Giants in WA’s top tier NBL1 competition, as well as local senior and junior leagues.
