Details

History: The facility opened in 1975 and was officially named Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Sports Centre by the Queen in 1977. It was constructed in close proximity to both the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital and Griffith University campus, which provided athlete accommodation. The original roofed stadium was intended to be the only permanent seating facility. The remainder of the stadium seating was built as "temporary" seating and was intended to be removed afer the Commonwealth Games had finished. Public opinion resulted in the unroofed temporary seating being retained as permanent.
