Work on a game-changing $7.5 million pavilion redevelopment at Soldiers Reserve will commence in early 2027 after Wyndham City awarded the construction contract this week.

The redevelopment will replace the existing pavilion with a modern, two-storey pavilion designed to better support local sport and community use, with key features including gender equitable changerooms, social space, undercover balcony, supporting amenities and storage. 

Project construction, including the demolition of the existing building, is expected to begin in early 2027.

The project has secured $5 million in funding from the Federal Government, $450,000 from the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund and $100,000 from AFL Victoria, following strong advocacy from the Werribee Districts Football Club, Werribee Cricket Club and Werribee Junior Cricket Club. 

Wyndham City Mayor, Councillor Mia Shaw, said the Soldiers Reserve pavilion redevelopment was a massive win for tenant clubs and spectators alike.

“Our local sporting clubs play such an important role in bringing people together, and they deserve facilities that support their growth and ambitions,” Cr Shaw said.

“This redevelopment will deliver the modern facilities our local clubs need while improving the experience for the players, volunteers and spectators who make match day so special.”

“It’s about supporting our local clubs to thrive and making sure Soldiers Reserve continues to be a great place for the community to come together.”
