Ballyshannassy Park at 465 Highbury Rd, Burwood East is a popular community reserve used for both organised sport and everyday activities like dog walking and socialising. It is home to local soccer and cricket clubs.

The current pavilion in the south-east corner is old and only provides very basic change facilities. It has no kitchen, social space, or accessible amenities, and no longer meets modern standards or the needs of its users.

Council is proposing to redevelop the pavilion to create a modern, inclusive, and environmentally friendly facility that supports both soccer and cricket. The new design will include flexible changerooms, a kitchen, storage areas, and spaces that the wider community can use.

The design will also consider nearby homes, the surrounding landscape, and the Victorian Government’s Fair Access Policy to ensure women and girls have equal access.

Community feedback will help shape the concept design so the new pavilion supports local needs and creates a welcoming space for everyone.
