📅 May 2025

On Friday 9 May, we hosted representatives from Emergency Recovery Victoria (ERV) and the Project Reference Group (PRG) for a site visit to the pavilion construction site.

Attendees were impressed by the scale and progress of the works, particularly the fully erected steel frame, and provided encouraging feedback. Community interest and enthusiasm for the project remain strong.

Tennis / Netball courts

• SP Ausnet has connected power to the new Main Switchboard (MSSB), bringing electricity to the Netball lights, Pony Club shed, and social rooms.
• The Netball contractor conducted testing of the Netball and Tennis court lights last night. We are currently awaiting the results.
• Netball training was held under the new lighting system, a great milestone for the project and the local sporting community.

Pavilion Construction

• All structural steel has been erected on site.
• The builder is completing the last sections of flooring and has commenced infilling the external walls.
• Roof materials have been ordered and are expected to arrive soon. If weather and conditions permit, initial roof installation may begin in the coming weeks.
• Site measurements for windows are scheduled for next week.

The structure is substantial, incorporating around 50 tonnes of steel and 1.5 kilometres of floor joists. This phase alone involves the installation of 400 joist hangers and approximately 29,000 nails!

The project remains on track and within budget; we are targeting project completion in 2026.
