the area provides for an international standard basketball court with
appropriate run-offs.
The central area can be used for other indoor
sports activities, ice shows, dancing, catered functions, exhibitions,
trade shows, and conferences. The area also forms part of the lower
level audience seating for large-scale concerts and performances.
Behind
the walls on Level 1 are four (4) team change rooms, warm up rooms, a
referee's lounge and six (6) private dressing rooms offering ample
dressing room areas.

Islands Brewing Company.
Foyer spaces accommodate a Ticketek Box Office,
