Bendat Basketball Centre (BBC) is a purpose built basketball stadium located in Perth, Western Australia. It was opened on 24 January 2010, and houses two show courts and six training courts.
It is currently the home of the Perth Lynx, who play in the Women's National Basketball League, as well as Perry Lakes Hawks Basketball Association. BBC also houses the offices of Basketball Western Australia and the Perth Wildcats.
On 6 May 2015, the Centre, after being known as the WA Basketball Centre for five years, was renamed Bendat Basketball Centre in honour of Wildcats and Lynx chairman Dr. Jack Bendat. The announcement came on his 90th Birthday.[2] The 21-year sponsorship agreement will see the benefits being directed to the ongoing maintenance and operational expense of the venue.[3]
