Stan Williams Park Set for Major Transformation with New $12 Million Stadium Development / by roger mainwood

Brothers Leagues Club, working with TPG Architects and Kier Constructions, is undertaking a significant $12 million redevelopment of Stan Williams Park, a long-standing home of Cairns rugby league. Entirely funded by the Club, this project aims to transform the venue into a leading facility for both sporting and community events, creating a space that enhances the region’s connection to the game while offering new opportunities for the local community.

TPG Architects is privileged to be helping the club with an architectural vision for this transformative project, working closely with the Brothers Leagues Club and the PCG members to create a world-class facility. The development will enhance the club’s ability to attract and retain top-tier athletes, while also positioning the stadium as a key venue for rugby league, school competitions, community events, and football development programs.

Central to the upgrade is the construction of a contemporary grandstand with seating for 1520 spectators, offering an exceptional viewing experience. The ground level will feature a state-of-the-art kitchen and bar to meet the needs of increased patronage. In addition, a 2,500-square-metre undercover spectator area will ensure fans can enjoy the games in comfort, regardless of weather conditions.

The enhanced facilities will include modern changing rooms for home and away teams, a fully equipped gym, and other high-quality sporting amenities. These improvements will position Stan Williams Park to host state-level competitions, fostering the development of Cairns’ next generation of sporting talent. The upgrade will not only boost the club’s profile but will also create a venue that can cater to a wide variety of events for years to come.

With construction well underway, the new Stan Williams Park is scheduled to be completed in time for the upcoming rugby league season. Upon completion, the stadium will undoubtedly stand as one of the leading venues in Cairns, capable of hosting prestigious events and enhancing the region’s reputation in the sporting world.
