We know offering our community ways to get outside, be active and stay fit and healthy is important for health, wellbeing and social connection, and helps to enhance their quality of life.  

That’s why we’re building a new pavilion at Packer Park.  

The modern building will include a club room, storage, bike wash facility, kiosk and accessible toilets.    

The new fit-for-purpose building will be home to the Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club — one of the largest cycling clubs in Australia. It will support the Club — which has over 600 members — to build junior, social and recreational cycling programs, and host large-scale events. 

The Packer Park velodrome is a much-loved facility by the Glen Eira community and the broader cycling community. It’s one of only two velodromes in southeast Melbourne and one of seven in metropolitan Melbourne.   

Sustainability is at the heart of this new pavilion. The building will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and the entire roof area will be connected to a 10,000-litre rainwater tank which will be used to service the toilets in the building. Recycled crushed concrete will also be used as a base for footpaths.  

This new pavilion is an important part of the broader work we’re doing to make sure our recreational facilities and the sports they support are inclusive and accessible, in line with our Pavilion Redevelopment Strategy and Fair Access Policy.  

This project is being delivered by Glen Eira City Council with funding from the Australian Government’s Investing in our Communities Program.
