University of Queensland St Lucia opened a new multi-sport venue called The Pavilion in Building 53C. The $4.2 million facility supports the university's AFL, soccer and cricket clubs.

University of Queensland's The Pavilion

The Pavilion at UQ St Lucia delivers purpose-built infrastructure for multiple college sports. It directly serves the AFL, soccer and cricket programs at the university. This addition expands training and competition options on campus without reliance on external sites.

Netball Carnival Venue at Nissan Arena

Griffith University serves as major sponsor for the 2026 QISSN Netball Carnival. The event will take place at Brisbane's Nissan Arena from June 28 to July 3, 2026. The arena provides a central, established venue for the university-level netball competition.

School Cup Events at Everleigh Sports Park

Logan's Everleigh Sports Park hosted the 2025 StreetSmarts AFLQ Schools Cup semi-finals in September 2025. The venue accommodated over 600 students from Brisbane and Logan colleges alongside Bond University. This use shows how dedicated sports parks contribute to school-level events in the region.

These venues form part of the broader infrastructure available to college and school sports. They allow programs to schedule training, matches and carnivals at suitable locations. Brisbane institutions continue to access these sites for ongoing activities.

Future events will utilise the same facilities where partnerships remain in place. Participants can check official university and event pages for schedules and access details.
