The final piece of an $11 million sporting hub at Williams Landing Boulevard Reserve is complete.
Construction on the $4 million pavilion at the reserve was officially opened on Monday [August 26].
Wyndham sports development portfolio holder Peter Maynard said the pavilion had a community space, kitchen, changerooms, storage for sports equipment and a 131-space carpark.
“This pavilion will provide essential facilities for sports teams and a meeting space for the wider community,” Cr Maynard said.
“This $4 million Wyndham City project was made possible through a Victorian government $1.9 million grant as part of the Growing Suburbs Fund.”
The first stage of the reserve, including two ovals, six tennis courts, a children’s playground and cricket nets, was completed in 2017.
“In that time the reserve has been enthusiastically embraced by the Williams Landing community,” Cr Maynard said. “It has led to the creation of several new sporting clubs, including the Williams Landing soccer, cricket and tennis clubs, which are going from strength to strength.”
Cr Maynard said Williams Landing was a fast-growing community, almost tripling in size in the past eight years, from 3200 residents in 2011 to 9350 people this year.
