CONSTRUCTION on the next stage of a $6.6 million sporting precinct at Marriott Waters estate is now underway.
Works have kicked off on the sports pavilion at the Lyndhurst precinct, which is expected to be completed in March next year.
The state-of-the-art pavilion will feature new change rooms for football, cricket and netball teams, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, canteen, office space and storeroom.
The pavilion will be situated between two ovals, elevated above the playing surface to give patrons a view of both grounds.
City of Casey mayor Geoff Ablett said the new sporting facilities cemented Casey’s reputation as the sporting capital in Melbourne’s south east.
“Whether football, cricket or netball, the Marriott Waters pavilion will offer a facility for members of the community to come together and take part in local sport,” he said.
“Council is working to ensure that sport and recreation continue to grow and prosper at a local level.”
