Perth Superdrome, currently bearing the commercial sponsorship label of HBF Stadium and formerly known as Challenge Stadium, is a sports complex in Mount Claremont, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It was opened in 1986 and is home to the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS). The main indoor arena holds 4,500 people (over 5,000 with standing room). The complex received its current name through a naming-rights sponsorship deal with HBF in 2014. Although the sponsorship with Challenge Bank expired in 2002, the name of the stadium was retained until 2014.[1][2]

The complex features an Olympic-standard aquatic centre with five pools, a gymnasium, a diving tower, two arenas, and several basketball courts, as well as a café, a childcare centre, a sports store, office accommodations and a museum. Regular exhibitions and expos are hosted throughout the year as well as national and international sporting events such as the FINA World Aquatics Championships.


Between 1987–89 and 2002–12, HBF Stadium was the home venue of the Perth Wildcats, who play in the National Basketball League (NBL). The Wildcats played in four NBL Grand Final series at the stadium, in 1987, 2002/03, 2009/10 and 2011/12, with the only championship coming in 2009/10. During Wildcats games, the venue was referred to as "The Jungle". The Wildcats' final game at the stadium was their 87–86 win over the New Zealand Breakers in Game 2 of the 2011/12 NBL Grand Final series in front of 4,400 fans.


Since 2008, the stadium has also been the home court for the West Coast Fever, who play in the National Netball League. To the Fever, the stadium is known as "The Cauldron".[3]


In 2013, a WAIS High Performance Service Centre commenced construction. It now comprises a strength and conditioning gym, multi-purpose training and testing area, 80 metre four lane indoor runway for long jump, sprinting and throwing sports, hydrotherapy and recovery pools, physiology and environmental laboratories, consultation rooms, athlete amenities and office space.[4]
