The Perth SpeedDome is a velodrome in Midvale, Western Australia, Australia. It is Western Australia's only indoor velodrome.[1] It was designed by German architect Ralph Schürmann[1][2] and constructed under the supervision of English velodrome specialist Ron Webb.[1][3] The SpeedDome was opened in November 1989, replacing the Lake Monger Velodrome, an old outdoor concrete velodrome in Mount Hawthorn.[4] The SpeedDome hosted the 1997 UCI Track Cycling World Championships. It regularly hosts training camps for Great Britain, Netherlands, Japan and New Zealand track cycling teams.[5]
The track is 250 metres (820 ft) long and made of high grade siberian pine.[4] It has seats for 1,500 people with facilities available for up to 2,300 people. In the centre of the cycling track is a multipurpose concrete floor used for inline hockey, figure, speed skating and roller derby.[1] A purpose-built kick boxing gymnasium is located underneath the cycling track.[1] Additional facilities include three media boxes, tenant and administration offices, competitors reception area and competitor and officials change rooms.[5]
The complex also has a 700-metre outdoor criterium track, incorporating a bicycle training facility.[4]
