Tuggeranong Ice Sports Facility

A new state-of-the-art ice sports facility will be built in Tuggeranong.

The venue, which will be called Canberra Arena, will be built on Rowland Rees Crescent in Greenway. It will be home to Canberra’s ice sport athletes, including national ice hockey champions, the CBR Brave.

The new facility will feature two international-standard ice sheets for figure skating, broomball, speed skating and ice hockey.

It will also have curling sheets – the first of its kind in Australia.  An indoor rock-climbing facility will offer all three Olympic disciplines of lead, speed and bouldering.

The venue will be able to host up to 3,600 spectators.

The design will include a range of environmentally sustainable features. These will include solar panels to reduce energy use and LED sports lighting.

Cruachan Investments and Pelligra Holdings will build, own, operate and maintain the new facility.

This project will provide the community a world-class venue to help grow ice sports at all levels.
