Objective

Provide the skills and expertise required for Western Australian government to

continue investing significantly in sports court surfacing.

Challenge

The primary challenges revolved around the climatic conditions of Western

Australia, particularly in remote areas, as well as the scarcity of professionals who

understand sports court surfacing, leading to frequent installation errors and

incurring substantial financial costs.

Solution

Introducing new surface materials tailored to meet the specifications of different

sports. By leveraging these materials, we aimed to minimise asset spend and

ensure that sports court surfacing requirements were met accurately and

consistently across the state and for various sports.

Outcome

The adoption of the new surface materials helped minimise future spend on

installations and maintenance. By using materials that align with the Product Data

Sheets (PDS) guidelines, we ensured that each sports court was appropriately

surfaced, enhancing player experience, international court specs and safety. The

solution led to a 21% reduction in installation costs and a 33% decrease in asset

management spend going forward.
