A new pavilion for Bruce Park
Project cost: $10M
State Government ask: $1.75M
We want to see football (AFL), cricket and tennis thrive at Bruce Park, with a brand-new purpose-built facility for the 1,000 current participants across four clubs and the almost 19,000 locals residing within the local area.
After three decades, the sporting pavilion needs an uplift to accommodate growing participation, especially for young girls and women taking up tennis, football and cricket in rapidly increasing numbers. The current pavilion is limiting clubs’ ability to provide a safe and fit-for-purpose facility for participation among girls, with facilities built with only male footballers in mind.
What will be delivered
A two-storey building catering to all three sports now and into the future, providing a multipurpose, female-friendly and accessible pavilion. This includes public amenities for other reserve users.
Council has already committed $3.33 million funding through its Long Term Infrastructure Plan, while the Federal Government has also committed $5 million toward the $10 million project.
