Forrest Park Pavilion

The project will see the demolition of the existing, aged clubrooms at Forrest Park to be replaced with a facility set to include four new changerooms, a function room, kitchen and bar, public toilets, umpire rooms, medical room, storage area and a veranda.

Car park upgrades

Works to upgrade the car park began on Monday 5 August.

This has seen the closure of the dirt car park on the eastern side of the bowling club as well as a section of parking to the south of the club.

There is still plenty of parking available with half remaining open as well as bays provided at the bowling club car park.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause as these necessary upgrades are taking place.

Stage 1 of the car park improvements will take four weeks to complete depending on the weather.

Collaboration with local sporting clubs

The City has been working closely with Marist Cricket Club and Bunbury Dynamos Soccer Club for this invaluable project including throughout the design phase.

In line with the City’s Corporate Business Plan and sustainability aspirations, the pavilion will incorporate sustainable design, be totally electric and will utilise renewable energy sources.

This project is exciting for Bunbury because it will provide a high standard facility for two of Bunbury’s long-standing sporting clubs, increase capacity for training and player and coaching development, and enhance spectator experience.

It will also increase participation in sport, especially for females and people living with disability by providing an accessible facility.

This project is jointly funded by a $4 million contribution from the City, $650,000 from major supporter the State Government, through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and $50,000 from the Western Australian Cricket Association.
