Regional Sporting Events

The Kawana Sports Precinct is the Sunshine Coast's flagship sporting hub — a 45-hectare complex in Bokarina that serves as home to Sunshine Coast Stadium and a broad range of outdoor and indoor sporting facilities. The precinct hosts international, national, state, and local competitions year-round, and is a central part of the Sunshine Coast's infrastructure development ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

The Eastern Precinct features six national-standard rectangular fields with floodlighting, regularly used for rugby league, rugby union, soccer, touch football, oz-tag, and gridiron carnivals. Sunshine Coast Stadium — the centrepiece of the complex — holds 1,046 grandstand seats with up to 10,000 general admission for major sporting events. Current indoor facilities include Kawana Indoor Sports, with courts for netball, soccer, and beach volleyball. A new $142 million Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre is under construction within the precinct, due to open in 2027 with 11 multi-sport courts and a 6,000-seat show court built to national and international standard.

The Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex on Fishermans Road is the Sunshine Coast's primary netball venue and one of the region's busiest multi-sport facilities. Home to the Sunshine Coast Netball Association — one of Queensland's largest regional associations — the complex hosts more than 10,000 games of netball each year, drawing in excess of 60,000 people annually across competition, carnivals, and representative events.

The complex is a regular host for the SCNA Junior and Senior Representative Carnival and has staged major Queensland Netball events including Junior State Age Championships. Its scale — 20 dedicated netball courts alongside four full-size ovals and three soccer fields — makes it one of the most comprehensive multi-sport facilities in regional Queensland, capable of running large multi-division carnivals simultaneously across all courts.
