Our Paradise
Home to live sports, entertainment and local events, our venue has it all!

Sitting on the banks of Brisbane water at Gosford, with palm trees lining the southern side, Industree Group Stadium is a truly picturesque sporting and entertainment venue. With a breeze from the bay due to the open aspect of the stadium and its proximity to local pubs, restaurants and accommodation venues, there is nowhere else like it.

It’s a stadium that showcases the region, supporting local businesses as well as promoting stadium partners Australian Reptile Park, Six Strings Brewing Co and East Coast Beverages. Not to mention the position of the venue is a photographers dream especially when dusky skies, silhouetted palm trees prevail, it's arguably acts as the perfect backdrop.
