"I am very pleased to announce that the Australian Government will provide the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) with a $25 million capital contribution towards the establishment of the Australian National Rugby Academy (ANRA) at Ballymore in Brisbane. The ANRA will be integral to the continued development and success of Australian rugby. The ANRA will provide state of the art facilities for the ARU to develop and prepare its elite and emerging players, coaches and referees. The centralised facilities will include field skills training, gymnasium, pool and support infrastructure such as accommodation, medical and meeting facilities. The ANRA will also become a centre for excellence for the Asia-Pacific, providing assistance for fledgling rugby bodies in the region."
