Queensland Tennis Centre Upgrades

The highlight of the expansion is a brand-new 3,000-seat roofed arena, offering an enhanced viewing experience and all-weather capabilities. Additionally, 12 new International Tennis Federation (ITF) specification courts will be constructed to meet the minimum requirements for Olympic and Paralympic competition. 

Player facilities will also be upgraded to accommodate the large influx of athletes, support personnel, and spectators expected during the Games.

Tennis Queensland CEO, Cameron Pearson, expressed his enthusiasm for the announcement, emphasising the importance of these upgrades in ensuring the QTC remains a premier venue.

“While the QTC initially met community and event needs when it opened in 2009, it requires essential upgrades to be fit for purpose for the Olympic and Paralympic tennis events – this funding is critical to deliver that,” Pearson stated.

Tennis Australia CEO, Craig Tiley, also welcomed the funding, highlighting the centre’s vital role in the success of the Games.

“The Queensland Tennis Centre is integral to the success of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032, and we are delighted to be able to host this major event in what will be a world-class venue,” Tiley said.

“This project will deliver significant economic benefits for Queensland, and at the same time inspire future generations of tennis players and fans, ensuring a lasting legacy that stays within the state for years to come.”

A Lasting Sporting Legacy

Beyond the 2032 Olympics, the Queensland Tennis Centre enhancements will offer long-term benefits by addressing the growing community demand for tennis court access. The upgraded facility will also serve as a premier venue for future major events, including the prestigious Brisbane International.
