DO NOT USE Facility Guidelines (DRAFT)

The Baseball Australia Facility Guidelines provide a clear, practical framework to support the planning, development, and management of baseball facilities across the country.

Designed for local clubs, councils, state associations, and interested stakeholders, these guidelines ensure that venues used for local competition are safe, functional, and aligned with national standards.

Their purpose is to promote consistency in facility quality, help organisations make informed investment decisions, and support the long‑term growth of the sport at community level.

By outlining recommended field dimensions, infrastructure requirements, and operational considerations, the guidelines assist stakeholders in delivering environments that enhance participation, improve player experience, and strengthen pathways from grassroots to high‑performance.

Ultimately, they serve as a shared reference point that encourages collaboration, supports strategic facility planning, and ensures that baseball communities across Australia have access to well‑designed, sustainable, and competition‑ready venues.
