The vision for the multi-million-dollar transformation of Alexandra Park has been created, with the latest concept drawings officially released to the community.
Designs detailing the $4.6m overhaul for the popular West Portland sporting venue are now available to view via the Glenelg Shire’s community engagement website YourSay Glenelg.
The designs provide an in-depth overview of the new accessible multi-purpose pavilion, including new change rooms, kitchen and bar facilities and function area.
Glenelg Shire Mayor Cr Anita Rank said the new facilities would be world class for user groups of all abilities.
“Universal design considerations underpin this project and we are proud that this new pavilion will offer a level of accessibility and amenity for users that is unmatched anywhere in the region,” she said.
“Features such as accessible pathways, lift and ramp access, accessible viewing areas and accessible toilets on both levels will provide genuine opportunities for residents to participate in sport and recreation regardless of age or level of ability.
“Furthermore, the new pavilion will assist our local football, netball, cricket and BMX clubs to attract state-level sporting events and festivals, further supporting our economy and well-being.
“I encourage community members to head to the YourSay Glenelg website or request a hard copy version at any council customer service centres to view these exciting plans.”
The Alexandra Park upgrades are collaboratively funded through Sports and Recreation Victoria, the Federal Government and Glenelg Shire Council.
