A $10 million upgrade to refurbish one of Sydney’s most recognisable
buildings, the Bondi Pavilion, will be undertaken as part of the Bondi
Park, Beach and Pavilion 10 year Plan of Management, and residents have
one final chance to provide feedback on the draft, which is now open for
community comment.
Minister for Natural Resources Lands and Water Kevin Humphries said the
current draft plan reflects community feedback already received,
ensuring there will be more open space, improved aesthetics and
increased amenities for the park beach and pavilion in the coming
decade.
“The improvements that will be made to the area as part of the Plan of
Management will further enhance Bondi’s reputation as one of
Australia’s, and the world’s, most iconic landmarks,” Mr Humphries said.
Waverley Mayor Sally Betts announced about $20 million has been
allocated in Council’s Long Term Financial Plan for the Bondi Park,
Beach and Pavilion 10 year Plan of Management, with about $10 million
set aside in the plan to refurbish the Bondi Pavilion.
Member for Vaucluse Gabrielle Upton said that the range of projects
planned as part of the Plan of Management include a children’s
playground, a beginners’ skate park and extra toilets. This will add to
the amenity created by the proposed upgrade to the gym, which is
supported by the NSW Government, Waverley Council and Bondi Junction
Rotary.
“The changes that will occur under the Plan of Management are designed
to enhance what people already love about Bondi and will ultimately
result in more people visiting the area every year,” Ms Upton said.
The community is invited to comment on the plans, which are on
exhibition until 14 September. To view the plans and comment, visit the Waverley Council website.
