Bankwest Stadium
Design a high quality level Field of Play for elite sport teams
New South Wales

The detailed brief from Infrastructure New South Wales required a design that ensured the Field of Play maintained the highest quality playing surface, and that there were no negative impacts from heavy storm events, or high volumes of rain.

Bankwest Stadium became the first stadium in the world to achieve Leed V4 Gold Certification.

Working within the design consortium, SPORTENG was responsible for the detailed design and documentation for the Field of Play. The playing surface is flat and due to the subsurface ventilation drainage system, the subgrade is also flat.

The stadium roofline will provide 100% drip-line coverage to all spectators which in turn will increase the extent of shadows across the playing surface. Synthetic grass is used around the pitch to maximise the extent of vehicular traffic without damaging the natural turf surface.
