The Tasmanian Government is working with the JackJumpers to deliver the team’s high performance centre training facilities.
Acting Minister for Sport and Events, Nick Duigan, said the JackJumpers have made clear their desire to continue training at Kingston and have the high-performance centre built there.
“The Tasmanian Government is willing to progress the JackJumpers preference to build the high-performance centre in Kingston, with the absolute proviso that our commitment to building community courts in the Northern Suburbs is also delivered,” Minister Duigan said.
“We remain 100 per cent committed to increasing community courts in the Glenorchy municipality.
“The high-performance centre was going to be connected to the Indoor Multi-Sport Facility at Wilkinson Point, however, the two projects can stand alone.
“The impact of the Jackies on the Tasmanian basketball scene has been incredible, and I want to assure our aspiring JackJumpers and the Glenorchy community that the Government will deliver courts in Hobart’s northern suburbs.”
