Cricket Australia and Queensland Cricket have announced that construction has commenced on the National Cricket Campus, located at Shaw Road, Wavell Heights.
Napier & Blakeley have been engaged in a full cost planning and cost management role, led by Adam Greene and Toby McDonald. To date we have assisted in reviewing/setting the budgets, liaising with specialist contractors, preparing estimates, value management, cost options, tender schedules, tender reviews and negotiations. Now that construction is commencing, we will be undertaking post contract services including progress claim and variation assessments, seeing the project through to completion.
The National Cricket Campus is split across the Allan Border Field (ABF) precinct in Albion that provides a world-class playing and training venue and the approved Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club (Norths) in Wavell Heights / Kalinga that will provide additional preparation and community cricket hub for elite, youth and club cricketers.
Hutchinson Builders was awarded the building contract for both Stages A and B of the Norths Campus and take possession of the site from May 8 2020. The ABF Campus upgrade will follow with practice facilities, grounds and amenities upgraded to complement the $29 million National Cricket Centre that was opened in 2013.
Terry Svenson, Chief Executive Officer, Queensland Cricket outlined what this last step means for Brisbane. “Today’s National Cricket Campus update is a significant step that gets us closer to building the world’s best cricket training facility in Brisbane. Having a building contractor in place and construction date set brings us greater clarity on the community and cricket outcomes we want the project to achieve and the time frames in which they will be delivered”.
“Once complete, the Campus is going to positively impact all cricketers from Australian teams preparing for a World Cup, to community cricket teams who will have access to some of the best facilities in the country”.
“We hope the development of the Campus can play an important role in stimulating the economy through the creation of jobs during what is a challenging time for many Australians, and can also bring our communities together through upgraded public facilities and our country’s love of cricket.” Mr Svenson said.
