Major Hockey Infrastructure Feasibility Survey Now Open
Joan Pease MP • 2023-07-16
Hockey Queensland (HQ), in partnership with Hockey Australia (HA), is seeking to improve facilities for hockey in Queensland and secure a permanent infrastructure legacy from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Key Points:
- Hockey Queensland and Hockey Australia are working to improve hockey facilities in Queensland and secure a permanent infrastructure legacy from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
- The current hockey infrastructure in Brisbane does not meet FIH standards, and a Feasibility Study is being conducted to identify the need, benefits, costs, and location of a permanent venue.
- Bayside hockey players are invited to complete a survey to provide feedback on the infrastructure requirements for hockey in Queensland, with the survey closing on Sunday, 6 August 2023.
Existing hockey infrastructure in Brisbane does not meet Federation of International Hockey (FIH) standards. The current venue plan for hockey, set out by the Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic Games, is to place temporary ‘drop-in’ synthetic hockey pitches and stadium infrastructure at Ballymore Stadium. Hockey Queensland is undertaking a Feasibility Study to present to Government, which identifies the need, benefits, costs, location and essential infrastructure of a permanent venue, which could enable the hosting of national and international events; better support HQ’s High Performance programs; create more playing opportunities for the Brisbane and broader Queensland hockey community; and provide a lasting legacy from the staging of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Otium Planning Group has been engaged to undertake the Feasibility Study. This survey is an important part of the consultation process, to enable the broader hockey community to provide input into the Feasibility Study. Bayside hockey players are invited to complete a survey to gather feedback from regarding the infrastructure requirements for hockey in Queensland. No personal identification information is required. This survey should take approximately 4 minutes and will close at 5pm on Sunday, 6 August 2023.
