Gippsland sporting upgrades move ahead

Local firm JJC Design has been appointed to lead design works for stadium facilities – including a new change room for officials, roof works and lighting design.

Key milestones have also been reached at the Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park and Morwell Gun Club with the appointment of Brand Architects as the principal design consultant for both projects.

The Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park is getting a new pavilion with change rooms, upgraded pitches with better lighting, new player facilities and a bigger car park – which will increase capacity and allow bigger competitions and tournaments to be held there.

Meanwhile, Morwell Gun Club is getting a brand new shooting range and security fencing, creating a much bigger space for the sport.

Expressions of Interest are now open for a Head Contractor to deliver the Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park and Morwell Gun Club.

Architecture Matters has been appointed as lead design consultant for the Ted Summerton Reserve upgrade, which will include a new pavilion with change rooms, upgraded accessible change facilities, new lighting, scoreboard and sightscreen. The upgrades will be a game changer for everyone who uses the venue, including local footballers, netballers and cricketers.

These new and upgraded facilities are funded through the Regional Sports Infrastructure Program which is part of a record $45 billion investment in projects and programs that matter to regional communities – including more than $2.3 billion for sport and active recreation infrastructure across Victoria.
