June 2023 update

We are now in Stage 3 of the Master Plan which will include the demolition of the existing Senior Citizens Centre and the construction of a new larger multipurpose community facility.

The construction will commence in July 2023. The entire site will be fenced off from the public during the construction period. This project will take 11 months to complete.

Stage 1 - Demolition of the former Williamstown Ladies Bowls Club, the Williamstown Central Tennis Pavilion and construction of tennis courts 

These works are now complete. 

Stage 2 - Open Space upgrades to the southern end of the reserve

These works are now complete. 

      

Upgraded playground

Council established a working group consisting of representatives from the users within the Williamstown Seniors building and the Williamstown Central Tennis Club to develop concept plans for the design of the multi-purpose facility. Three independent community representatives also sit on this working group.

For the past six months the working group has worked diligently to develop a design for the new facility that will be available for community use, meets existing tenant needs and provides new club room facilities for the Williamstown Central Tennis Club.

The new facility has also incorporated into its design the significant trees that have been nominated within the reserve and ensured these trees are not affected by the build.
