Regular season

edit

The regular season began on Friday 18 March and ended on Saturday 30 July after 20 rounds of competition. Warwick Stadium was renovated ahead of the 2016 season, which was a boost for the Stirling Senators, while the Perth Redbacks moved home to the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre after a trial year at Curtin University in 2015. Additionally, due to renovations to the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre, the Mandurah Magic hosted all of their games in 2016 at the Rockingham Flames' home venue of Mike Barnett Sports Complex.[1][2]
