About the centre

The centre is named after Mike Barnett (24 January 1946 – 29 December 2023) who was a prominent Australian politician and dedicated advocate for Rockingham. In 1974, Mike Barnett was elected as the inaugural Member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly for the newly established seat of Rockingham, a position he held until 1996. During his tenure, he served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1986 to 1993. His leadership coincided with a period of significant growth and development in Rockingham. The Mike Barnett Sports Complex  stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and commitment to the community.

The Mike Barnett Sports Complex is one of the region’s most significant leisure facilities and is located on the corner of Dixon Road and Goddard Street in Rockingham. The complex is home to the Rockingham Basketball Recreation Association (RBRA) and Rockingham Districts Netball Association (RDNA).
