Sports House at Varsity Lakes is a state-of-the-art community, sports, and recreational facility, developed as an initiative by Lend Lease and Varsity Lakes Community Limited in partnership with the Gold Coast City Council.

Located on the southern shores of Lake Orr and accessible from Christine Avenue, Sports House was presented to the community in October 2011 to benefit all residents of Varsity Lakes.

“Sports House is Lend Lease’s parting gift to the people of Varsity Lakes and a lasting legacy for local neighbourhoods,”

“The community response has been incredible – so much so that Lend Lease is already planning similar boating facilities for new communities across Australia.

“It’s been a privilege to work with local residents, business owners, community groups and sports enthusiasts, particularly members of the Varsity Lakes Sports House User Group Committee, to bring this project to fruition.”
