Padel Court Construction in Australia & New Zealand

The cost of a padel court depends on the court model, whether it is indoor or outdoor, the number of courts and the conditions of your site. The budget also covers the civil works your site needs, such as the slab, drainage and power supply, along with lighting, transport and installation. Every project is different, so we look at yours before putting a number on it, and we prepare each quote in AUD or NZD. Tell us about your project, whether it is a first idea or a full plan, and we will go through the options with you and come back with a proposal.

A project moves through site review and design, manufacturing in Spain, shipping to Australia or New Zealand, and installation on site. Timing depends on the model, the number of courts, approvals and the readiness of the slab and civil works. You'll receive a project schedule together with your quote.

It depends on the site, the structure and the scope of works, so requirements should be checked for each project. In Australia, lighting, noise, covered courts and land use are the issues that most often come up with council. In New Zealand, building consent requirements are assessed according to the structure and the works involved.

In both countries, Portico prepares the structural calculations and technical documentation your planner, designer or council may request, and we recommend reviewing requirements early in the project. The approval process itself sits with your project team.

Often, yes. A full-size tennis court can usually fit two padel courts, depending on its dimensions, run-off and surrounds. The condition of the existing surface decides whether it can be reused, and in some cases the Elevated Platform can be installed over it. A technical review of the site confirms what is possible.

Yes, provided the building suits the project. The main checks are clear height above the courts, the condition and level of the floor, column positions and layout, lighting, and access for delivery and installation. Where an existing slab meets the technical requirements, the Elevated Platform can reduce the civil works involved.

Yes. Portico Sport designs and manufactures its own canopies for padel courts, engineered for the structural requirements of each project. They are quoted separately from the courts.

Portico courts include a 10-year warranty on structural stability, backed by technical support and parts availability. The exact terms and scope are set out with each quote.

Look at who designs and manufactures the courts, not just who installs them. Ask for structural calculations for your site, technical documentation for approvals, references from venues that are already operating, clear warranty terms and a realistic plan for supply and installation. It also helps to visit or speak with clubs that play on the courts every day.
