Sexton Pavilion at Werribee’s Galvin Park is set for a massive expansion with
a $5.7 million upgrade to commence this month.
The upgrade includes a second storey extension with a social room, committee room, kitchenette, timekeeper area and office.
Other improvements include four new change rooms that will be accessible for all
abilities, new umpire rooms, first-aid and storage rooms.
Improved sustainability will also feature in the upgrade, with more
than 60 solar panels to be added to the pavilion and all gas appliances replaced with electric.
These works are part a series of revamps of sporting pavilions across
Wyndham and follow recent upgrades at Goddard Street Reserve, Arndell Park Reserve, Saltwater Reserve (tennis) and Tom Roberts Reserve.
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard said the Sexton Pavilion upgrade marks the 14th and final upgrade in the program.
“As our population continues to grow at a rapid rate, it’s important that our sporting
facilities keep pace,” Cr Maynard said.
“The sporting pavilion upgrades program ensure these facilities are friendly for
women and girls, meet all accessibility requirements, and provide improved social
and kiosk facilities for host clubs.
The expansion of the Galvin Park Sexton Pavilion complements upgrades to the
Galvin Park soccer and tennis pavilions undertaken in recent years.”
The Galvin Park upgrade is supported by $3 million from the Victorian Government and $500,000 from the Federal Government.
