  • Indoor training space suitable for drills, match tactics and game simulation
  • Medical, sports science and recovery areas
  • A pool and aquatic recovery area
  • A large gymnasium space
  • A one kilometre running circuit
  • An auditorium and dedicated spaces for player/coach reviews and games analysis
  • A player development, lounge and study area
  • A consolidated football administration building

The facility also serves as a new home for the Australian Paralympic Committee.
