Queenborough Oval redevelopment

Queenborough Oval in Sandy Bay has regained its crown as one of Hobart's premier sporting venues.

The $3.8 million redevelopment ensures Queenborough Oval continues to serve as a central hub for community sport and recreation for years to come. 

The redevelopment included:

• a new building facility that accommodates four new changeroom and associated facilities, a medical room and rooftop viewing terrace
• accessibility improvements to the Scott Palfreyman Stand, including a new ramp, walkway, stairwell and accessible lift
• converting the current changerooms into umpire facilities
• a large multi-purpose space with a hardstand viewing area out the front joining the new and existing buildings
• new unisex public toilets at the back of the grandstand.

A sporting and community hub

Queenborough Oval is home to the South Hobart Sandy Bay Cricket Club, Hutchins Old Boys Football Club and Sandy Bay Junior Football Club.

These clubs collectively field 29 teams. Sandy Bay Junior Football Club boasts one of the highest representations of female players in Tasmania. They have five female teams ranging from under-10s to under-18s.

The new facilities provide inclusive and modern amenities for the more than 400 players currently using the oval. They are expected to draw more players to the clubs that call Queenborough Oval home.

This project was made possible by a $2 million investment from the Tasmanian Government and $1.8 million from the City of Hobart.
