About Us

For over 100 years, the Kardinia Park precinct has hosted sporting and entertainment events, including Australian Rules Football, Cricket, Netball, Soccer, Rugby, Swimming, Motocross, and more recently international music acts.
Kardinia Park Stadium Trust (KPST) exists to inspire moments of connection and joy through sport, entertainment and community activities. We are custodians of GMHBA Stadium - home of Geelong Football Club, Geelong Sports Museum, Geelong Cricket Club, Sports House, and Barwon Regional Cricket Centre.

The stadium is a rare asset for a regional city, and it is a source of pride for our community. With the completion of the new 14,000-seat Joel Selwood Stand in 2024, GMHBA Stadium can now accommodate 40,000 people, making it the largest stadium outside of Melbourne within Victoria. In 2025, GMHBA Stadium was voted Best Regional Stadium in Australia in the Austadiums Awards, and the stadium has now been voted Best Regional Stadium in six of the seven editions of the awards.

In 2024/25, GMHBA Stadium generated more than $190 million in social and economic value, 1,200 direct and indirect full-time equivalent jobs for the Victorian economy and hosted more than 480,000 visitors across 44 on-field events. The stadium was utilised 286 days of the financial year and the playing surface is considered the most utilised in Australia as it home to training sessions for the Geelong Football Club programs. The list of world class events at the stadium saw 190,000 visitors from outside the local region travel to Geelong to experience the elite venue. Within our community program, more than 21,000 local participants took part in five dedicated community events at the stadium.
