REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
As part of its capital works program, Council has committed funds to improve the functionality of the J.E. Moore Park north pavilion (corner of Edwardes Street and Gilbert Road Reservoir) J.E. Moore Park north pavilion – West Preston Lakeside Football Club
The pavilion at J.E. Moore Park north is below current day expectations. The kitchen and
social room provide a sufficient level of service however the change rooms are inadequate.
At present the home team has an outdated change room in the north pavilion, however the
away team must cram into what is effectively a toilet block nearby.

The pavilion will be extended to allow both the home and away change rooms to be located
within the north pavilion and will be refurbished to ensure they meet the requirements of the
associated use that the pavilion supports.
ISSUES AND DISCUSSION
J.E. Moore Park North
Tenders for the J.E. Moore Park north pavilion redevelopment closed on Thursday 14 June
2012. Six submissions were received and assessment has commenced. Following
completion of the submission assessment a contract will be awarded for these works. The
contracted works are within officer delegation limits and do not require a Council decision.
Once the contract has been awarded, officers will confirm the schedule of works from the
contractor and meet on site with the tenants based at J.E. Moore Park. It is likely that parts
of the pavilion can continue to be occupied during construction works however this will be
discussed in detail with the tenants when a contractor has been appointed.
An indicative timeline has been provided below:
Contract awarded – July 2012
Works commence - late August 2012
Works completed – November/December 2012
Tenant clubs at J.E. Moore Park north have been advised of Council’s resolution at its meeting on 18 June 2012.
