Sports field construction in Victoria is evolving to meet the increasing demand for high-performance, multi-use sporting facilities. With participation growing in AFL, soccer, netball, and cricket, local councils, schools, and clubs are investing in durable, well-designed surfaces that can handle heavy use and diverse codes. BIS Infrastructure delivers end-to-end solutions across Victoria, creating fields that support player safety, performance, and community use – all while standing the test of time.
Designing multi-sport fields for flexibility and function
Constructing a sports field that can accommodate multiple sporting codes is both a science and an art. Each sport has its own field dimensions, surface performance requirements, and safety standards. At BIS Infrastructure, we take a holistic approach to sports field design to ensure every project meets regulatory specifications and practical needs.
For example, combining an AFL field with a cricket pitch installation requires careful integration of turf types, subsurface preparation, and pitch orientation. Soccer pitch installation alongside netball court construction on adjoining spaces also demands precise planning, especially when blending synthetic and natural surfaces. Our tailored designs ensure that each sport benefits from a professional-quality playing surface without compromising functionality for others.
Meeting national standards and local needs
Our team works closely with sporting bodies and community stakeholders to ensure compliance with all relevant guidelines. Whether it’s ensuring correct line marking, fencing placement, or choosing between synthetic and natural turf, every detail is aligned with sport-specific regulations. This attention to detail helps schools and councils host sanctioned competitions while providing safe, reliable spaces for everyday community use.
Community engagement is also a central part of BIS Infrastructure’s delivery model. We consult with end users early to understand how each field will be used, helping inform decisions around lighting, surface selection, and multi-code configurations. This collaborative process results in inclusive facilities that foster participation and pride.
Why drainage and irrigation make or break a field
One of the most important, yet often overlooked, components of sports field construction in Victoria is the underlying drainage and irrigation system. These systems directly impact the safety, playability, and longevity of the surface, regardless of sport or turf type.
Sports turf drainage systems
Without proper drainage, fields can become waterlogged, creating unsafe conditions and leading to surface damage that is expensive to repair. Our team installs subsoil drainage systems designed to quickly remove excess water from the root zone. For natural turf fields, this ensures healthy root development and improved resilience. For synthetic fields, it prevents surface pooling and extends lifespan.
Irrigation system installation for peak performance
Maintaining consistent moisture levels is essential for turf health, especially during Victoria’s dry summer months. Our irrigation system installations are fully automated and calibrated to each site, reducing water usage while maintaining optimal turf condition. Whether it’s a full AFL field construction project or a netball court surrounding area, our systems are built for efficiency and sustainability.
