WORLD Pavilion

The WORLD Pavilion was completed in June 2024, and comprises:

• four gender neutral change rooms
• umpires changerooms and amenities
• first aid room
• function space that is furnished to accommodate 80 seated patrons
• a commercial kitchen with two canteens to service east and west sporting fields/ courts
• toilet facilities
• disabled access across the building and precinct

This facility is home to Bairnsdale Netball Association, East Gippsland Hockey Association, Bairnsdale Hockey Club, Nagle Hockey Club, Swan Reach Hockey Club.

The new WORLD Pavilion is a valuable asset for our community and is available for hire.

Promoting social interaction, recreation, education, and community engagement across a wide spectrum of activities, these versatile facilities serve various purposes beyond sports. The function space with its commercial kitchen and accommodations for 80 patrons makes it an ideal venue for community events such as fundraisers, social gatherings, meetings, and workshops, fitness classes, art classes, wellness programs and health screenings, hosting volunteer recruitment drives, voting stations during elections, and other community service programs – the possibilities are endless!

Key inclusions in the precinct are an eight-court precinct with Marshall’s building, a synthetic playing surface with lighting, a turf field, associated access roads, paths, car parking, and landscaping.

We are grateful for the financial support of the Australian and Victorian Governments, which was invaluable in realising our vision of creating inclusive and accessible recreational spaces for all members of the community.
