Floor Finishes Upgrade at MSAC and Lakeside Stadium

Summary and scope

MSAC conducts annual slip-resistance testing across the facility. Testing undertaken in in February 2024, August and November 2025, and March 2026 confirmed that 47 areas across MSAC and LAKE failed to meet minimum slip-rating standards. Slip-resistance tests have revealed that sections of the existing flooring — comprising sheet vinyl, stair nosings, coated concrete, and ceramic tiles — do not meet the required safety classifications. As a result, the State Sports Centres Trust (SSCT) intends to treat or replace non-compliant flooring in affected areas, so they meet slip-rating standards.The scope includes: 1) Treatment to areas specifically listed in the attached specification document. 2) Removal and disposal of existing floor coverings. 3) Removal and disposal of existing stair nosings. 4) Supply and installation of new floor coverings. a) All materials must achieve or exceed their respective minimum required classification ratings as outlined in sections 5 – 8 of this document. b) New floor covering colours to align with the existing floor coverings and/or design aesthetic of the space. c) Vinyl should extend at least 150mm up the wall and be caulked where it meets the plaster. 5) Supply and installation of new stair nosings. 6) Provision of operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals for the installed flooring 7) Retesting by ATTAR (Advanced Technology Testing and Research) 8) Any additional works or defect rectification to address failed results of retesting and achieve minimum required classification, including further testing.
