Heritage Bank Stadium unveiled
CUSTOMER-OWNED and longest-standing financial institution Heritage Bank has taken out the main naming rights for the stadium, which will host Gold Coast SUNS AFL & AFLW matches, national and international cricket as well as a host of large-scale community events.
Chief executive Peter Lock said launching the Heritage Bank Stadium name would help propel the brand further onto the national stage ahead of the bank’s imminent merger with People’s Choice Credit Union on 1 March.
“Naming this complex the Heritage Bank Stadium name will provide us with incredible national exposure, as well as providing a platform to engage with and support the community of the wider Gold Coast region,” Mr Lock said.
Gold Coast SUNS CEO Mark Evans said the partnership was a “historic occasion”, adding: “Heritage Bank Stadium is a community asset, it’s for the people of the Gold Coast and alongside Heritage Bank, we will continue to strive to bring engaging and diverse content to the region, for its people.”
