Allan Border Oval Pavilion work restarts

Work has restarted on the Allan Border Oval Pavilion project after Mosman Council entered into a contract with builder Reitsma Constructions to finish the remaining works including roofing, glazing, internal fit-out and landscaping.

Reitsma, which was founded 50 years ago, specialises in commercial construction and previously worked locally on the successful Mosman Swim Centre renovation project in 2020.

The restarting of works follows the previous contractor’s voluntary administration two months ago and subsequent liquidation after the main structure was completed.

The pavilion and grandstand will include ground floor change rooms, public toilet amenities, groundkeeper/storage facilities and a kiosk while first floor facilities, accessible via a lift, will include a function room, kitchen, toilets, scorers room and a terrace.

State-of-the-art features including solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system will minimise the impact of the building on the environment. Outside, a barbecue and practice netball/basketball court will be set in landscaped surrounds.

The pavilion is expected to open during the first quarter of 2024.
