The concept designs were developed by Collins & Turner Architects.
In order to tackle the lack of sporting facilities in Alexandria, Council purchased the building near to Sheas Creek with the purpose of converting it into a recreation space. 
The large interior of the warehouse will be transformed into four multipurpose indoor courts and a two-storey showroom. The exterior area will also be revitalised and new greenspace will be added. The design of the warehouse of create a strong connection between the internal and external spaces and will promote natural air and light.
