History and construction

On 12 November 2011, it was announced that the Gold Coast would host the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The Gold Coast bid included an indoor facility in Coomera that would hold a capacity of 2500 people and would host the Wrestling event. The bid also included the creation of the 7500-seat arena to be built in Southport. On 13 June 2014, the 2018 Commonwealth Games masterplan was finalised and the release revealed a new 7500-seat indoor arena to be built in Coomera.[1] The arena will measure 10,000 square-metres and construction will be complete in 2016.[2]

Sporting events

The arena hosted the netball and gymnastics events during the 2018 Commonwealth Games. On 7 July 2018 the arena hosted a Suncorp Super Netball match between the Queensland Firebirds and Melbourne Vixens, which is to this date the only domestic-league netball match to be held at the venue.[3]
