Bruce Park Pavilion Redevelopment

Frankston-City-First_Dark-Blue_2025

The opportunity

We want to see football (AFL), cricket and tennis thrive at Bruce Park in Frankston, with a brand-new purpose-built facility for the 1,000 current participants across four clubs and the almost 19,000 locals residing within the local area.

After a thriving three decades of use, the sporting pavilion at Bruce Park Reserve needs an uplift to accommodate growing participation, especially for young girls and women taking up tennis, football and cricket in rapidly increasing numbers. The current pavilion is limiting clubs’ ability to provide a safe and fit-for-purpose facility for participation among girls, with a lack of female-friendly change rooms that were built at a time with only male footballers in mind.

What will be delivered

Through our partnerships with Federal and State Governments, we can take things to a whole new level with a two-storey building catering to all three sports now and into the future, providing a multipurpose, female-friendly and all accessible pavilion. This includes public amenities for other reserve users.

The project will deliver:

Demolition of existing pavilion and construction of an all new two-storey facility
Inclusion of dedicated female friendly change rooms and associated facilities
Inclusion of accessible public toilets
A larger community social room and meeting room
Bigger storage rooms for all sports
A new canteen kiosk
Inclusion of an umpire’s room
A fit-for-purpose first aid room

What we need

To deliver the $10 million redevelopment of the Bruce Park Pavilion, equal funding contributions of $3.33 million from each level of government (Federal, State and Council) is required. Council has already pledged its financial contribution in our Long Term Infrastructure Plan and awaits federal and state contributions.
