ABOUT AQUENTA


AQUENTA.COM.AU 2

One Team – One Delivery: we will deliver an integrated level of service that will demonstrate value at every stage of the project life cycle.

While the rules of many sports have not changed

for a number of years, the way spectators consume

the match experience in a modern stadium has

changed significantly in recent years and will

continue to do so over the next decade.

Understanding these changing needs and

requirements is of paramount importance for

developing a venue capable of maximising fan

engagement, the commercial opportunities deriving

from a modern stadium and, consequently, project

stakeholders’ returns. Stadiums are also often

built as iconic landmarks and are sometimes

implemented to provide impetus to urban renewal

and regeneration. This makes stadiums high

capital intensive projects to deliver.

It is therefore important to maximise all and any

opportunities to generate revenue through the

delivery of corporate suites and boxes, function

rooms, lounges, advertising, food and beverage

offerings and retail / merchandising outlets.

However, opportunities to generate revenue

through these facilities are often limited to game

day events that may only occur between 20

and 50 days over the year – depending on how

many teams / tenants the stadium has. The ideal

solution in order to maximise value is for stadium

developments to generate additional revenue

outside of game day events through the provision

of conference / function rooms and retail spaces.

In order to make stadium developments viable, it

is critical to have an understanding of the stadium

development costs and how these align with the

stakeholders vision, and looking further forward to

how these will impact the financial viability of the

design.

This is where we can help you.

Our reputation is based on a commitment to

build extraordinary partnerships with our clients

and multi-disciplinary experts from across the

globe – a commitment to go beyond the expected.

This approach has helped us build long term

relationships with clients who own and operate

sports stadiums and venues, as they value the

difference we make to their business.

OUR EXPERIENCE

AQUENTA.COM.AU 6


Client: Oil Search (PNG) Limited

CAPEX: PGK 183M

Location: Port Moresby, PNG

Services: Cost planning and audit, quantity

surveying, contract administration.

Project: The new National Football Stadium for PNG

comprising the redevelopment of Lloyd Robson

Oval into a multi-purpose, world class sporting

and entertainment stadium. The stadium was

constructed over a two-year period and includes

seating for 15,000 spectators (Stage 1) with

expansion to 25,000 seats in a final configuration.

Designed as the home of rugby league, and also

suitable for all rectangular field sports including

soccer, and rugby union, the stadium includes 10

corporate suites, 250 person club lounge, corporate

deck, food and beverage outlets as well as

management offices and associated facilities.

Our involvement: Aquenta was engaged to

provide an independent review on the original

project concept scheme. The team was responsible

for reviewing and providing recommendations of

managing contractor submissions and undertaking

negotiations of a guaranteed contract sum with

the managing contractor. During the construction

phase, the team provided contract administration

services and was engaged in an audit quantity

surveyor role.

The outcome: Aquenta provided advice on a

suitable contracting methodology (managing

contractor design and construct) enabling fast

tracked design and construct solution which

provided an upper end cap on costs through the

agreement of a guaranteed construction sum, with

a share of savings arrangement with the majority

of savings returning to the client. This procurement

option also enabled the reinvestment of savings

back into the project.

To achieve the required scope within the budget,

we recommended the use of light weight modular

seating stands, amenities blocks and food and

beverage outlets.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL STADIUM

AQUENTA.COM.AU 8

Client: Netball SA

CAPEX: AUD 2M

Location: Adelaide, SA

Services: Estimating Services.

Project: The Netball SA Stadium is South Australia’s

premier netball venue and home to both the

Adelaide Thunderbirds and Netball SA. The stadium

is the main facility for both indoor and outdoor

netball competition and is regularly used by both

community and elite players. Recent developments

included upgrades to outdoor courts and facilities,

various indoor improvements and upgrades to the

car park and external areas.


prepare estimates for various works to assist

Netball SA with a grant application for maintenance/

upgrade funding. Working closely with Netball

SA and Department for Planning, Transport &

Infrastructure (Office for Recreation & Sport), we

were able to identify the required scope of service

and recommend the most appropriate method for

subdividing estimated costs to ensure the best

outcome from the grant application process.

The work was completed within a very tight

timeframe to maximise the opportunity to

guarantee funding during the months leading up to

the last state election.

The outcome: The process proved very successful

resulting in guaranteed commitment for elements

of the work from the Special Purpose Grants

budget in place at the time. This enabled Netball SA

to progress with key components of work and to

continue developing a budget bid for the remaining

scope. Without the collective ability to identify and

work towards the key opportunities/outcomes the

project may not have been able to gain funding

support.
