Works have commenced on the City of Casey’s new and improved sports pavilion at Robert Booth Reserve in Hampton Park with the $5.4 million project, seeing cricket, football and netball clubs, as well as the broader local community, benefiting from the spacious new two-storey pavilion.

The new pavilion features:

• Two unisex AFL and cricket change rooms and amenities,
• Two netball change rooms and amenities
• Community room and social space with commercial kitchen
• First aid room
• Two unisex umpire rooms
• New, more functional canteen
• Generous storage space
• Public toilets and amenities

City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff advised “the existing, aging structure is outdated and no longer meets the needs of these popular sporting clubs and community groups.

“A new and improved pavilion will better support the Hampton Park Football Netball Club and the Hampton Park Cricket Club to provide a better equipped and more welcoming environment for players, members and spectators.

“It will also go a long way to supporting the clubs as they continue encouraging women and girls to participate in sport.”

Works are expected to be complete in mid-2023.

This project is being jointly funded by Council together with the State and Federal Governments. The State Government contributed $3 million through the Local Sports Grants program, and $200,000 from Sport Australia’s Community Sport Infrastructure grant program, with Council funding the remaining $2.24 million.
