After successfully completing the grandstand for the Blacktown Athletics Field last year, Blacktown Council invited Design Inc to tender for the new stadium and associated site works, including 2 sports ovals. The brief was to design the new 1,500 seat grandstand with the ability to expand to a 20,000-seat capacity in the future, and a 250-seat function room and kitchen.

In addition, Design Inc has also designed a series of players’ facilities and media offices, a separate 100-m² Indoor Practice Centre that can also serve as less formal function hall with a second commercial kitchen, and an Amenities Building with club room that will serve as the day-today practice facility.

Design Inc is busy working on a redevelopment of the Brookvale Bus Depot. The redevelopment will include the construction of a new two-storey building to accommodate new regional administration offices, including new staff/driver amenities and increased bus parking facilities on site. Construction started in early 2008.
