## History

In 1992, the Warwick Leisure Centre was built in the Perth suburb of [Warwick](/source/Warwick%2C_Western_Australia).[2] In 2015, the venue received an $8 million expansion, with the Churches of Christ Sport & Recreation Association (CCSRA) investing over $5.5 million and the [City of Joondalup](/source/City_of_Joondalup) committing $2.3 million. The expansion included four new indoor courts to bring the total to eight.[1] The venue was subsequently renamed Warwick Stadium.[3] The renovations were completed in time for the start of the [2016 State Basketball League season](/source/2016_State_Basketball_League_season).[4]

In January 2025, the [WA Labor government](/source/First_Cook_ministry) committed $16 million for a new high performance venue at Warwick Stadium. The planned expansion includes three new courts and gym facilities to cater for elite operations of Perth's national basketball teams, the [Perth Wildcats](/source/Perth_Wildcats) and [Perth Lynx](/source/Perth_Lynx), with both clubs pledging to move their bases from the [WA Basketball Centre](/source/WA_Basketball_Centre) to Warwick Stadium.[5][6][7][8] Bipartisan support was confirmed the following month, with the [WA Liberal Party](/source/Western_Australian_Liberal_Party) matching the $16 million pledge.[9] By February 2026, the planning progress had stalled amid a breakdown in communications and funding fears from the City of Joondalup.[10]
