Sports & Recreation

We help to shape vibrant, multifunctional sports and recreational facilities that bring communities together and promote healthy, active lifestyles. These are more than just venues they're spaces that inspire performance, foster connection, and support well-being.

Our directors have participated at community level in playing, coaching and volunteering roles. They’ve also delivered facilities for top-brass national elite sports clubs. With this experience, they bring a very practical edge to the design and development of local and high-end facilities.

Our designs are guided by a deep understanding of the role these facilities play in both physical health and social engagement. We prioritise accessibility, flexibility, and modern amenities to ensure each space delivers a high-quality experience for all users.

From sports-field lighting to considerations for game-day bump for TV and radio broadcasters, we’re experienced in helping to develop working solutions. Our team have design experience to demonstrate compliance with planning conditions, operational considerations and help de-risk critical product procurement and lead-time concerns through our strong supplier networks. We can also leverage our relationships with international specialists to develop stadium-level infrastructure design for spectator experience and crowd management, AV, WIFI and other ICT considerations.

Internally, we can design climate-controlled training centres for year-round use. We integrate functional, high-performance systems that align seamlessly with architectural vision and environmental responsibility. Whether the need is for versatile training zones or adaptable environmental controls, our solutions are tailored to enhance comfort, usability, and performance across a wide range of activities and conditions.

We have strong experience in delivering aquatics, spas, saunas and the nuances of compliance risks and considerations to minimise safety concerns, deal with condensation issues and consider new technologies. We’ve successfully delivered geothermal solutions and heatpump replacement projects.

At community level we recognise the social dimension of sport and recreation. Our designs support not only activate lifestyles, but also provide comfortable, engaging environments where communities can gather, connect, and take pride in their shared spaces. We understand that locals are just happy to have a modern, well-lit, safe sports precinct with clean facilities and a place to socialise afterwards, without the need for the bells and whistles that come with big budgets.

With strong expertise in sustainability and regulatory compliance, erbas™ ensures every facility meets both community expectations and legislative requirements helping our clients deliver world-class sports and recreation centres on time and within budget.
