First look at JackJumpers High Performance Training Facility

The Tasmania JackJumpers High Performance Training Facility has marked a major milestone today, with the Development Application advertised by the Kingborough Council. 

Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said this is a great example of the real progress our Government is making. 

“The Government has worked closely with the JackJumpers and Kingborough Council to establish this permanent home, and we are thrilled to see this progress being made,” Minister Duigan said. 

“This state-of-the-art $15m facility, spanning approximately 5,500 square metres, will become the heart of the JackJumpers’ operations, serving as the home of the entire Club. 

“The new High-Performance Centre will turn the Kingborough Sports Precinct into a central recreational hub for the entire State.

Minister Duigan said Tasmanians have fully embraced the JackJumpers. 

“This site will create further opportunities for our young basketballers and provide development pathways for the next generation,” Minister Duigan said. 

“It will also enhance the broader Kingborough Sports Precinct as a premier hub for sport and recreation in the state, with yesterday’s announcement the adjacent site has been locked in for the Tasmania Devils’ High Performance Centre, too.

Speaking on behalf of the JackJumpers, CEO Christine Finnegan said “I am so excited to see the vision for our future training facility and cannot wait until this vision becomes reality. 

We have worked really hard to deliver for the State of Tasmania out of our shared practice facilities over the past 4 seasons and this will be an enormous boost to our Club cohesion and be key to the future recruitment of players when it comes to life”.
