About the project
Construction of the new pavilion at Lewin Reserve is now complete.
The existing pavilion was in poor condition and did not cater for the women and girls who play rugby and cricket in Lewin Reserve. The design for the new pavilion was shaped by community feedback we heard during consultation in 2021.
Construction started in September 2022 and was completed in December 2023, including demolition of the existing building.
We are pleased to provide a new, fit-for-purpose facility that better meet the needs of the sporting clubs and the local community.
Key design considerations
Location
The location for the design was selected based on:
- existing flood levels
- surrounding trees
- location of the current sports fields
- wheelchair accessible gradients.
Size
The new single-storey pavilion is partially embedded into the existing embankment to reduce its visible height and create a new publicly accessible viewing terrace from Sinclair Avenue.
The design is split into two single-level buildings, to ensure all nearby trees are not impacted and the visual impact of the building overall is reduced.
Access
A new wheelchair accessible pathway has been created from Sinclair Avenue. It sits along the top of the existing bluestone retaining wall to assist with easy access to the new pavilion.
Inclusions
The pavilion design includes:
