We built a new cycling pavilion to provide local cyclists with a modern and accessible space to ride, train and connect with others.

It was officially opened on 19 June by Glen Eira Mayor Cr Dr Simone Zmood and Councillors, the Hon Clare O’Neil MP Member for Hotham, Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness and Minister for Cities, CEO Lucy Roffey and members of the Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club.

The pavilion sits alongside our recently resurfaced velodrome and includes a clubroom, storage, bike wash facility, kiosk and accessible toilets for the Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club and the wider community. It has been designed to support people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

The pavilion was delivered by Glen Eira City Council, with funding support from the Australian Government through the Investing in Our Communities Program.

We’ve upgraded the cricket nets to better meet the needs of our community and local cricket clubs.

The space includes five cricket bays along with a multipurpose area designed for futsal and basketball. With increasing participation in cricket, particularly among juniors and women, these upgrades will provide a modern, safe, and accessible training space.

Currently, the multipurpose area is undergoing review for further improvements. During this period, the facility will operate exclusively as a cricket training space. This approach ensures a safe and accessible experience for all users while allowing Council to open the newly upgraded facility.

The playground will be upgraded in line with the feedback you shared with us in 2021 — read more about the engagement here.

Future upgrades to the playground are subject to funding.

We’re continuing to advocate to the Victorian and Australian Government’s for funding to support future upgrades to the space. Read more about our advocacy efforts and priorities.
