Table Tennis HQ Facilities Strategy Released

The TTACT Facility Feasibility Study and Preliminary Planning Project (The Project) has delivered 2 major reports, prepared by McLaughlin Sports Consultancy.

1. A Preliminary Findings and Options Paper. The Preliminary Report provides in-depth evidence on the need for and benefits of a permanent, fit for purpose Table Tennis HQ Facility in the ACT and identifies over 20 potential sites.    

2. The main report “Table Tennis HQ Facilities Strategy 2024-2034”. The Strategy Report provides:

• strong evidence on the need for and benefits of a permanent, fit for purpose Table Tennis HQ Facility in the ACT, along with access to satellite facilities.

• 11 potentially feasible sites requiring further investigation with ACT Government (Appendix A).

• Concept plans and development cost estimates for a new facility (Appendix B)

• Key Actions to guide TTACT as it  navigates through the process of establishing a new TTACT HQ facility.

 Hard copies of both reports are available at Kingston Table Tennis Centre, with electronic copies at the links above.
