UPDATE: We’ll be open for another year

Due to a delay in awarding the construction delivery contract for the Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrade, early works are now expected to start from mid-late 2025.

We are hopeful that the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority will be able to award a contract swiftly, at the end of the Queensland Government caretaker period, to ensure the upgraded stadium will be delivered ahead of the 2028 winter sports season.

While the delay is disappointing, it does mean we can remain open for another 12 months and continue to operate as the premier venue for sport, leisure, and entertainment on the Sunshine Coast. 

Importantly, we will host another season of winter sports before construction starts in mid-late 2025.  

We look forward to seeing you here at the stadium over the coming 12 months.

Procurement for the new indoor sports centre continues to occur separately from the stadium, with contract award expected in 2025.
