The City of Port Phillip is working with the Victorian Government to upgrade the J.L. Murphy Reserve pavilion with the aim of increasing participation in sport by providing accessible change rooms for all genders and abilities.

Port Phillip Council wants the best outcome for the sporting clubs, their members and the wider community who will use the redeveloped J.L. Murphy Reserve pavilion and ovals for decades to come.

A concept design was developed after extensive consultation.

Next steps

In January 2019, work commenced on the redevelopment of the J. L. Murphy Reserve pavilion.

Temporary facilities, including public toilets have been installed so the reserve can continue to be enjoyed during the redevelopment.

The upgraded pavilion is scheduled for completion by April 2020.

Survey

Council has released the concept design for the pavilion upgrade. This concept design has been developed within the parameters set by the community in 2015. We are currently seeking community feedback on the internal fit out, anti-graffiti measures, security lighting, and construction impact mitigation options to be investigated during the detailed design development phase.

This survey should take about 10 minutes and the feedback received will be used to guide Council decisions during the detailed design phase.

Part One: What should we consider during the design development phase?

Community space

As part of the pavilion upgrade, there has been an increase in community space – including covered outside space and indoor space. Council is keen to maximise the use of this space, which is currently under-utilised from early morning to 4pm on weekdays. Uses of the space could include early morning exercise groups, mothers groups, or community groups who would like to use the space including the kitchen to host lunches or events.

Security lighting

Council is investigating several locations for security lighting which will help prevent anti-social activities around the pavilion.
