Chelsea Little Athletics Upgrades

Project typeSports facility upgrade
Project value$800,000
Project scheduleConstruction commencing September 2023

The project will include the installation of a ‘D Section’ with an athletics-approved synthetic surface, new discus pads, timekeepers pads and upgraded storage.

In addition, drainage improvements and repairs will be undertaken on the existing velodrome track.

We've partnered with the Victorian Government to deliver this project, which will future proof the site for club members and the broader community to enjoy.

Project timing and impacts

Construction is due to commence in late September, and the project will be completed early in 2024 (weather permitting).

Due to nature and scope of the project, it is necessary for the entire eastern side of the reserve to be closed to the public (including the velodrome), as outlined in the site map overleaf.

Temporary fencing will surround the restricted area, including dedicated work zones for the safety of the community.

There will be heavy vehicles accessing the reserve throughout the project, however disruptions will be kept to a minimum. We apologise for any inconvenience you may experience.
