Redevelop set to commence on Frankston Basketball Stadium

Redevelop set to commence on Frankston Basketball Stadium
June 13, 2025

Set to be the biggest-ever infrastructure project in the area, the long-awaited redevelopment of the Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford is set to begin from 30th June.

The project is the result of years of advocacy by Frankston City Council and local clubs, including the Frankston and District Basketball Association (FDBA), for a new facility that delivers expanded participation and development opportunities - particularly for young girls, women, and people with a disability.

In collaboration with the Council, Ireland Brown Constructions and the FDBA, the redevelopment will transform the existing building into a state-of-the-art 10-court facility, with modern amenities, increased accessibility and the capacity to host local, national and international events.

Acknowledging that the venue’s closure will create short-term challenges - but expressed excitement for the future - FDBA Chief Executive, Wayne Holdsworth advised “this redevelopment marks a new chapter. It’s not just about new courts - it’s about creating a modern, inclusive home for basketball in our region. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this period and can’t wait to welcome you all back to a new and improved venue.”

The new stadium will be a two-storey building and include:

  • 10 basketball courts, including six new courts and the refurbishment of four existing courts
  • A show court with an upstairs viewing area and retractable seating for up to 1,000 people
  • Two multi-purpose courts suitable for volleyball, futsal, and badminton
  • Function spaces, including a kitchen and event room overlooking the show court
  • A café, lift access, and accessible changerooms

The redevelopment has been designed in alignment with the City’s Community Vision and Council Plan, which were shaped by extensive community feedback and demonstrated overwhelming support for the project.

Plans during redevelopment
The FDBA has been working diligently for months to ensure that competitions normally held at the Frankston Stadium are prioritised and relocated to existing and new venues during the two-year redevelopment period.

Clubs and participants will receive detailed updates in the lead-up to the closure, with the FDBA committed to minimising disruption and keeping the community informed every step of the way.

Holdsworth added “the FDBA team will communicate with all clubs the alternative fixturing arrangements in a

timely fashion leading up to the stadium closure.”
