Answer: Where in Ipswich has a ~7,000 m² building featuring an indoor 50 m pool, squash courts, climbing wall, and multi-court sports hall—plus an all-weather 400 m track right outside?
❌ A.) UniSQ Campus
❌ B.) Brighton Homes Arena
❌ C.) West Moreton Anglican College
❌ D.) North Ipswich Reserve
✅ E.) RAAF Amberley Fitness Complex
What it has: Indoor 50 m pool, multi-purpose sports hall, squash courts, climbing wall, weights/cardio studios. Outside: 400 m all-weather athletics track, rugby & AFL ovals, tennis, beach volleyball, cricket nets, obstacle course.
Cost: Part of Stage 3 redevelopment valued at AUD $331 million (fitness complex & fields included).
How big: Main building measures 138.5 m long × 45–50 m wide, for a footprint of about 6,500–7,000 m².
Bonus: The site includes a 4 million-litre underground rainwater tank for harvested roof water.
Why nothing else here matches:
- Brighton Homes Arena: Elite AFL venue with 50 m × 35 m indoor training field and lap/recovery pools—not a full-size indoor 50 m pool or athletics track. Cost ~$82 million.
- North Ipswich Reserve: Stadium precinct (planning funding $10 million); no indoor 50 m pool or athletics track included.
- UniSQ Springfield: Campus gym with two indoor basketball courts, no 50 m pool or 400 m track.
- West Moreton Anglican College: Large multipurpose hall (Lostroh Centre, 2,100-seat capacity) but no indoor 50 m pool or athletics track.
