TRARALGON developer JJC Design has been appointed to lead design works for the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.
Works will also commence at the Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium, Morwell (Falcons Stadium), Ted Summerton Reserve, Moe and Morwell Gun Club The works are part of the state government’s legacy projects as a trade-off from the cancelled 2026 Commonwealth Games. Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence announced that plans for the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium will include a new change room for officials, roof works and lighting design. Key milestones have also been reached at Falcons Park and Morwell Gun Club, with the appointment of Brand Architects as the principal design consultant for both projects. Falcons Park will get a new pavilion with change rooms, upgraded pitches with better lighting, new player facilities and a bigger car park – which will increase capacity and allow bigger competitions and tournaments. Meanwhile, Morwell Gun Club is getting a brand new shooting range and security fencing, creating a much bigger space for the sport. Expressions of Interest are now open for a Head Contractor to deliver the Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park and Morwell Gun Club. Architecture Matters has been appointed as lead design consultant for the Ted Summerton Reserve upgrade, which will include a new pavilion with change rooms, upgraded accessible change facilities, new lighting, scoreboard and sightscreen. The upgrades will be a game changer for everyone who uses the venue, including local footballers, netballers and cricketers. These new and upgraded facilities are funded through the state government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Program, which is part of a $45 billion investment since 2014 in projects.
