Terry Reserve 3

Terry Reserve 3, located in Albion Park, is undergoing an exciting upgrade that will enhance the facilities for both players and spectators. The project, supported by $634,000 of Section 94 Developer Contributions, aims to accommodate the increased usage as a result of the area's development. Terry Reserve has worked closely with sporting user groups to identify and prioritise various projects, ensuring that the community's needs are met.

The upgrade at Terry Reserve includes several planned projects. First, training sports field lights will be installed for Field 4, improving visibility for evening training sessions. Car park lighting will also be added to enhance safety during nighttime events. Additionally, field side seating will be introduced for Fields 2, 4, and 3, providing comfortable seating options for spectators.

A storage shed will be built to provide storage space for equipment and supplies. Furthermore, the upgrade includes the construction of additional formalised car parking, addressing the growing demand from visitors. Finally, tiered seating will be installed for Field 1, ensuring a better viewing experience for spectators.

The project at Terry Reserve is progressing well, with some components already completed. The additional formalised car parking, storage shed, and field side seating for Fields 2 and 4 have already been finished. The remaining works are expected to be completed by April 2019, depending on weather conditions.

During the construction period, field usage is not expected to be disrupted as no works will be taking place on the playing fields or facilities. However, neighbouring residents may experience occasional construction noise, primarily during the installation of timber-driven piles for the tiered seating at Field 1. It is important to note that once the project is complete, it should not have any adverse impact on residents. Measures have been taken to consider light spill from the car park and field lighting in the design process, ensuring minimal disturbance to nearby residents.

Overall, the upgrade at Terry Reserve is an exciting development that will benefit the Albion Park community. The enhanced facilities will not only accommodate the increasing demand but also create a more pleasant and enjoyable environment for players, spectators, and neighbours alike.
