The $4.94 million redevelopment, which received significant funding from both the NSW Government and Bega Valley Shire Council, has transformed the facility into a versatile space that caters to the needs of a wide range of community groups and sports teams.

Mayor Russell Fitzpatrick said the $3.29 million generously contributed by the NSW Government, underscores the importance of supporting local sports infrastructure.

“We are incredibly excited to open the doors of the new multi-use pavilion at the Pambula Sporting Complex,” Mayor Fitzpatrick said.

“This project represents a significant investment in our community’s future, providing high-quality facilities that will benefit local sporting groups and residents for years to come.”

The new facility features adaptable change rooms, umpire’s rooms and facilities, kiosks, adaptable social rooms, public toilets including two accessible toilets, accessible parking, pathway connections, covered verandas and viewing areas, service connections and secure storage areas.

“Local sports teams, user groups and community members are already preparing to make full use of the new facilities, and the pavilion's design ensures it can accommodate a wide range of activities, making it an invaluable asset to the community.

“We are incredibly grateful to the NSW Government Office of Sport for their funding and support, and we look forward to seeing the new pavilion serve as a hub for sports, recreation and community events with many years of use ahead.”
