Project update for Fairpark multipurpose facility

Things are well and truly underway at Fairpark Reserve. Our drone shots show the construction of the new multipurpose facility is coming together with walls and roof almost complete.

This new building will be home to U3A, Johnson Park Cricket Club, Fairpark Football Club, and the Fairpark Netball Club.

The construction of the building and southern carpark works are expected to be completed by October 2023.

Demolition of the existing pavilion, cricket nets, and extension of the northern carpark will take place during October and November 2023.
