Launch of the new Western Australian Basketball Centre
Members of the Western Australian media are invited to witness history in the making with
the ‘tip-off’, or launch, of the new Western Australian Basketball Centre.
Multi-purpose and environmentally friendly by design, the centre will cater for community,
state and national basketball competition, along with a range of other indoor sports.
Completion of the WA Basketball Centre, along with the already operational WA Athletics
Stadium, is the second stage of a three-pronged sports development in the sporting precinct.
The development replaces out-of-date facilities at Perry Lakes and will also include a rugby
facility on adjacent land.
