Location
The Park Ridge Reserve pavilion is located at 208 Dandelion Dr, Rowville VIC 3178.
Why this project is happening
The upgrade is needed because:
- The pavilion is outdated and lacks adequate facilities.
- More storage and first aid spaces are required.
- The design needs to support inclusivity and accessibility.
The project will use sustainable building practices.
Impacts
- The car park will have reduced parking availability throughout 2025 due to construction vehicles.
- The car park will be closed for a few days during modular installation (early 2025).
- The existing pavilion will remain operational until refurbishment begins in mid-2025.
- The modular will be operational while the pavilion refurbishment is underway.
- Disruption to reserve users will be kept to a minimum.
