SPORTENG

SPORTENG has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for Service Excellence in The Australian Business Awards 2025. The Australian Business Award for Service Excellence [CSX] recognises organisations that have successfully implemented initiatives that demonstrate leadership and commitment to customer service excellence.

SPORTENG is Australia’s premier sports engineering consultancy, specialising exclusively in the design of Fields of Play. From early-stage feasibility through to construction supervision, SPORTENG offers end-to-end project delivery with a reputation built on precision, consistency, and innovation.

What makes SPORTENG distinct is its integrated in-house capability, uniting civil and sports engineering, agronomy, irrigation design, 3D visualisation, master planning, and superintendent services. This multi-disciplinary structure allows SPORTENG to deliver technically robust, environmentally responsible, and user-focused outcomes tailored to each project’s context.

The firm operates nationally across the education, local government, and professional sports sectors, working on facilities for athletics, soccer, AFL, cricket, hockey, netball, tennis, and golf. Known not just for technical excellence, SPORTENG also champions sustainability, incorporating recycled materials and energy-efficient systems to reduce environmental impact and enhance long-term asset performance.

Peninsula Grammar in Mount Eliza, Victoria, partnered with SPORTENG to transform ageing, weather-prone sports grounds into a fit-for-purpose, high-performance precinct. The goal was to enable daily PE, host inter-school competitions, and support elite training without expanding beyond the school’s existing footprint.

The project delivered:

  • A World Athletics-compliant, synthetic sandwich-profile running track.
  • A FIFA-certified synthetic soccer pitch with vertical drainage.
  • A safe, inclusive, and multi-use facility for students, teachers, and the broader school community.

The result is a state-of-the-art, weather-resilient sports hub that supports school sport year-round. Students benefit from world-class facilities, which eliminate the need for off-site travel and enhance learning continuity. Teachers report increased student confidence, while inclusive programming and staff wellness initiatives extend the facility’s value across the school community.

Clever use of limited space, achieved through the use of retaining walls and a strategic layout, enabled high-performance outcomes without the need for demolition or expansion. Environmentally responsible materials such as recycled rubber and organic infill also reflect SPORTENG’s sustainability-first ethos.

Through smart planning and design, SPORTENG maximised value from the school’s existing assets. The project delivered a dual-certified athletics and soccer precinct within a tight urban footprint. It transformed weather-prone ovals into a versatile, high-performance, all-season hub. The precinct was delivered on time, to brief, and to international standards. It now supports PE, training, competitions, and inclusive community access. Beyond its function, the facility has reshaped campus life and strengthened the school’s brand. Overall, SPORTENG’s project delivery at Peninsula Grammar exemplifies sustainable innovation in school sports design.
