Latrobe City Sports & Entertainment Stadium
By 106 Architects
106 Architects provided a staging and concept masterplan to accompany Smart Connection Consultancy’s feasibility study for the redevelopment of the Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium in Morwell, Victoria.
The refurbished facility will become a centre of excellence for football/soccer in Gippsland – connecting grass-roots community catchment to the high-performance pathway for promising young athletes and programmes.
Engaged early on, extensive consultation with the full range of facility stakeholders including Falcons 2000 Soccer Club, Gippsland Soccer League, Football Federation Victoria, Latrobe Valley Soccer League and Referees Association was undertaken.
Developed around existing infrastructure and buildings, the new masterplan layout accounts for the upgrading of old natural grass pitches and construction of new artificial turf surfaces. Future upgrades to the existing grandstand, change rooms and social spaces were also considered and designed to be connected with future funding streams and measured participation growth.
Stage 1 was delivered in July 2019 and included for a full-size FIFA accredited synthetic pitch – installed by Turf One.
