In 1992, the Warwick Leisure Centre was built in the Perth suburb of
Warwick. In 2015, the venue received an $8 million expansion, with the Churches of Christ Sport & Recreation Association (CCSRA) investing over $5.5 million and the
City of Joondalup committing $2.3 million. The expansion included four new indoor courts to bring the total to eight. The renovations were completed in time for the start of the
2016 State Basketball League season. In January 2025, the
WA Labor government committed $16 million for a new high performance venue at Warwick Stadium. The planned expansion includes three new courts and gym facilities to cater for elite operations of Perth's national basketball teams, the
Perth Wildcats and
Perth Lynx, with both clubs pledging to move their bases from the
WA Basketball Centre to Warwick Stadium. Bipartisan support was confirmed the following month, with the
WA Liberal Party matching the $16 million pledge. By February 2026, the planning progress had stalled amid a breakdown in communications and funding fears from the City of Joondalup. ==References==
