The Y Glenorchy Redevelopment – Officially Reopened
Exciting new opportunities have arrived at The Y Hobart with the official reopening of our redeveloped Glenorchy Facility on 5 May 2026. This transformative project has created a vibrant, modern community hub.
Made possible through a $6 million federal grant from the Department of Infrastructure, originally announced in February 2019. The redevelopment reflects years of planning, resilience and commitment. While the project experienced challenges throughout the pandemic, planning approvals and rising construction costs, significant progress was made following Vos Construction taking possession of the site in April 2024.
Today, we are proud to welcome the community back into a revitalised and future-focused facility.
What the Redevelopment Delivers
The upgraded Glenorchy Centre now features:
-
Two improved stadiums for sport and recreation
-
Multiple multipurpose rooms
-
A welcoming community meeting space
-
Spaces for health and wellbeing providers
This revitalised facility not only supports our members and participants, but also offers flexible, modern spaces for wider community use. We continue to welcome expressions of interest from individuals and organisations interested in delivering health services, programs or community initiatives within the centre.

Looking Ahead
As one of Australia’s oldest Ys, established in 1882, The Y Hobart remains committed to its purpose as a community-based, not-for-profit charity. This redevelopment represents an important investment in the future of Tasmania — creating spaces and opportunities where every person can thrive in body, mind and spirit, while strengthening healthy and connected communities for generations to come.
