Ambiwerra Redevelopment

Stage

2 of the Ambiwerra Sports Precinct Redevelopment is well underway.

A formal Turning of the Soil event marked the commencement late last year with The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Premier of Queensland, attending in support of the construction.

The second stage of the Ambiwerra Sports Precinct Redevelopment is a critical piece of work which involves transforming the existing land owned by St Aidan’s from sporting fields and a dam into a new state-of-the-art Sports Performance Centre. Due for completion in late 2023, it will provide us with a 96 metre-long indoor court to use for a range of sports, along with an additional flexible learning space.

This is a significant milestone in the life of St Aidan’s as we have begun to unlock the immense potential of the Ambiwerra site. The opportunity to develop comprehensive educational, sporting and community facilities on this site allows us to increase our offerings in sport, health, wellbeing and environmental studies as well as increasing our community partnerships.

These new Ambiwerra facilities will soon offer world leading facilities for our P.E. students, athletes and young sportswomen as well as the staff who teach, coach and mentor them. Building upon this space will also allow us to dream big for future teaching and learning infrastructure at our campuses at Ruthven Street and allow us to continue to fulfill our vision to educate the whole girl – through sport, academic, and cultural endeavours – in a nurturing environment that offers educational excellence.

St Aidan’s worked closely with architect Blight Rayner to ensure that the infrastructure and facilities have creative solutions and environmentally sustainable material to blend in the with the natural environment

The sports performance centre has been designed to overlook the parkland and creek, provide natural ventilation and light, and has an arbour that forms a sunshade canopy to protect the northern edge.

We would also like to thank our building partners ATG Projects and DMA Partners for making this a reality.

The St Aidan’s Foundation has contributed $800,000 to the Stage 2 development so far.
