Basketball Court Line Marking Gold Coast

Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks basketball courts on the Gold Coast to FIBA dimensions, including the 28 m by 15 m court, 6.75 m three-point line and 50 mm wide lines, or FIBA junior layouts for younger players. We pressure clean first and use UV-stabilised court paint made for coastal Queensland sun and salt air.

A Gold Coast recreation centre needed all six of their outdoor basketball courts remarked before a junior tournament. The existing lines had faded badly under Queensland sun, and the three-point arcs were barely visible. With the tournament eight weeks away, they needed reliable work.

We scheduled the work across three weekends to minimise disruption to regular users. Each court was pressure cleaned, measured to FIBA junior specifications, and marked with UV-stabilised court paint. All six courts completed two weeks before the tournament.

Gold Coast outdoor courts face intense UV exposure and salt air corrosion. Standard paints fail quickly. We use coatings specifically designed for coastal Queensland conditions, with UV stabilisers that maintain visibility for years, not months.

Basketball court dimensions we mark to

A full FIBA court is 28 m long and 15 m wide, with a 6.75 m three-point line, a 4.9 m wide key and lines 50 mm wide. School and council courts on the Gold Coast are often smaller, so we confirm the size and layout with you before we start. Many courts also carry netball or volleyball lines in a second colour.

Standards and council rules we follow for basketball courts

• FIBA Official Basketball Rules, used by Basketball Australia and Basketball Queensland: a 28 m by 15 m court with lines 50 mm wide in one colour.
• Three-point line 6.75 m from the centre of the basket, and 6.60 m in the corners, 0.90 m in from the sideline.
• Key 4.90 m wide and 5.80 m long, free-throw line 5.80 m from the inside edge of the end line, and a 1.25 m no-charge semicircle.
• FIBA junior layouts for younger players where the club or school asks for them.
• At least 2 m of clear run-off around the court where the site allows.

Council and site rules on every court and field job

• Approval first. On council reserves, school grounds and club facilities we work only with the owner's written approval, plus a works permit where the council asks for one, and we follow the council's open space and reserve conditions.
• Safety paperwork. A Safe Work Method Statement and site induction under the Model WHS Regulations, with the work area coned or fenced off until the paint has cured.
• Insurance. Certificates of currency for public liability and workers compensation, at the level the council, school or club specifies.
• Working with children. On school and childcare sites our crews hold the state check, such as a Working with Children Check or Queensland blue card.
• Stormwater. No paint, wash water or grit goes into drains, in line with state EPA rules. We contain wash water and take waste away.
• Right paint for the surface. Court paint the surface maker approves, so your surface warranty stays intact, and grass-safe line paint on turf.
• Hours and bookings. Work is timed around council noise local laws and the club, school or council booking calendar.
