Lagoon Reserve Pavilion and Sports Field Redevelopment

Council is proposing to redevelop the pavilion at Lagoon Reserve to ensure the building is compliant and fit for purpose with multiple community groups able to use and benefit. Reconstruction of the sports field (with sports lighting) to support sport activity and passive recreation of the community. 

The sports field, pavilion, and supporting infrastructure are in poor condition and do not meet current standards. They require replacement or upgrade to ensure visitor accessibility, safety, and support, resulting in various public space benefits. The redevelopment of the Lagoon Reserve pavilion is necessary to make the building compliant and suitable for its intended purpose. The current pavilion has been assessed and found to be in an unsatisfactory condition, failing to meet relevant sports codes and the Building Code of Australia for both present and future requirements. The redevelopment of the pavilion presents an opportunity to consider the placement and orientation of a new pavilion.

Due to the pavilion's non-compliance with mandatory standards and its rapid deterioration, it will be demolished in the coming months. This demolition has been scheduled earlier than anticipated due to safety concerns. Temporary public toilets have been placed on site and will remain in place until the new pavilion is built.

As a result of the demolition requirements, the construction commencement dates in 2023 and the opening date to the public in 2024 may be affected. Any changes to the project, including amendments and updated timelines, will be communicated and updated on this page throughout the delivery phase.

The renewal and upgrade of the Lagoon Reserve Pavilion will provide a suitably designed facility that will provide for existing club growth and attract other clubs to utilise Lagoon Reserve, taking pressure off the nearby sports facilities, particularly during peak periods and construction works at other reserves.
