Squash WA is managing the works through a staged approach and the upgraded facilities made it possible for Western Australia to host the 2024 Australian National Squash Championships at the centre in June.

Most of the interior works have been completed with the exterior of the 1970s-built centre about to get a new façade. The plans include a lift to access the first floor, relocation of the stairs, and the addition of a verandah to bring the facility up to a contemporary standard.

Works already completed include:

  • new flooring for all courts
  • glass front and rear walls installed for most courts
  • lighting upgrade to meet the Australian standard
  • remodelled and upgraded changerooms
  • accessible facilities.
