Council is renewing the Beaumaris Reserve Sports Pavilion to support community sport in Bayside for future generations.

The Frank Reade Sports Pavilion at 88 Reserve Road, Beaumaris has been identified in Council’s accelerated Sportsground Pavilion Improvement Plan as a high priority for renewal to ensure it meets the needs of players of any ability, age or gender.

The new pavilion will provide contemporary facilities for community sport and respond to Bayside’s declaration of a climate emergency through environmentally sustainable design and native landscaping.

The sports pavilion will include umpires and changeroom facilities that provide access for all genders. The pavilion will also include first aid facilities, kiosk, storage areas for allocated user groups and an entry foyer that provides shelter for players and spectators.

The pavilion has been designed to address the climate emergency and will feature solar panels, north facing windows to maximise use of natural light for heating during the winter months, electric appliances and water heating systems to reduce future reliance on natural gas, sensor lighting and the inclusion of water tanks to utilise storm water for toilets.

Other features of the design include realignment of car parking within the reserve to ensure no loss of spaces, inclusion of a sealed accessible car park at the entry to the sports pavilion and unsealed paths to connect all buildings within the heritage precinct. The realignment of the carpark will require the removal of the small playground near the Beaumaris Arts Group building.

The planning of the pavilion carefully managed the protection of vegetation at the reserve. The upgrade does require tree removal, however, an additional ten indigenous trees that will reach 18m tall by 10m wide will be planted. To ensure the reserve maintains its natural leafy environment, native landscaping of the site has been included as part of the pavilion renewal project.

This project does not include any works associated with the Beaumaris Arts Group Studio
