Sports & Recreation
Enhancing memorable experiences
Stadiums can be at the centre of our communities, bringing fun, teamwork, community spirit, and purpose. They’re where memories of watching your favourite sporting team play or global artist entertain are made.
Whether it’s the high school footy field or an impressive cricket pitch—from recreational play through to professional sporting leagues—our Sports and Recreation team plan and design all sides of stadium and field projects at every scale.
Sporting games can build community spirit, improve health and wellbeing, and simply entertain. The buildings in which we watch, play, and practice should intensify this experience—igniting passion, expanding opportunity, and growing character. In any sport and event, teamwork is important, which is why we form teams of engineers and designers who collaborate with clients and contractors to deliver great facilities for all.
We’re a country that appreciates our sport and entertainment
Our engineers recognise what successful sporting and entertainment building facilities need and what makes an iconic stadium. Our aim is to create a memorable experience by applying the latest technology and environmentally-friendly solutions. So, whether you're creating a sporting stadium or place to host concerts, our team knows what makes a magnificent stadium design. Read MoreBlundstone Arena – Ricky Ponting Stand
