The proposed project features a Centre of Excellence Sports Medicine, an Allied Health Centre, an Imaging Facility, a studio for pilates, yoga and massage, a Curtin University Learning Centre and a caf.

The aim of the facility will be to provide a centralised one-stop-shop sports medical service. The Allied Health Centre and Imaging Facility would provide additional services to the community.

Further opportunities raised in the feasibility study included a hydrotherapy pool, a Healthy Ageing Service Hub and a Community House/Sports Hub.

The proposed centre would be on the corner of Dower and Clarice streets.
