Project Update

We’re excited to share a key milestone in the Thompson Reserve pavilion redevelopment — the old clubroom has now been fully demolished.

This marks the beginning of an important new chapter for the reserve. Removing the existing building clears the way for construction of a modern, purpose-built facility that will better support local clubs, community groups, and visitors.

Over the coming weeks, you may notice increased activity on site as preparation works begin for the new building. We’ll continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work towards delivering improved facilities for everyone to enjoy.
