The High Performance Centre

[Jazny]

This thread will be for all news and opinions on the High Performance Centre for our AFL and AFLW teams.

What we know so far:

The High Performance Centre at this stage is planned to be built at the Rosny Parklands - but it is still subject to final approval from the Clarence City Council. It will be a primary site at the southern end of the Parklands, with a second oval that will be located at Charles Hand Park. It is expected to be completed by 2026. The cost is estimated to be $70m with $60m from the government and $10m from the AFL. It will be used by the AFL, AFLW, and VFL Tasmania Devils teams.

What are your thoughts on the HPC?

This picture really shows how elite it's going to be.

So if they want it ready for the 2026 VFL season they'll have to break ground pretty soon one would think. This year sometime?

You'd think they will start this year on zoning and building. I'm trying to remember how long the new EFC centre went up in Moorabbin, took 1.5-2 years back in 2013, pretty sure it was announced in mid 2011.

Should the government just build one big facility for football basketball cricket instead of tipping in for a few small ones

Clarence Council is really annoying me with the HPC. Trying to pick and choose which parts of the site are used.

How about we just make things a whole lot simpler and place it at Twin Ovals in Kingston instead where the Council aren't being difficult?
