Cairns Pop-Up Arena, Indoor sports stadium in Cairns, Australia.
The Cairns Pop-Up Arena contained a 6,500-square-meter hall fitted with grandstand seating, video scoreboards, and broadcast lighting systems for sporting events.
In July 2020, the former Bunnings Warehouse building was transformed into a temporary stadium during the Cairns Convention Centre redevelopment project.
The arena hosted numerous basketball matches for the Cairns Taipans and netball games, including the Super Netball Indigenous round in September 2020.
The stadium provided seating for 2,000 spectators, with air conditioning, change rooms, public amenities, and catering facilities throughout the venue.
After serving its temporary purpose as a sports venue, the building was converted into a film studio for Screen Queensland with a budget of 6.8 million dollars.
