Stadium starts shaping up

CONSTRUCTION continues on the Surf Coast Multi-Purpose Indoor Stadium in Torquay North.
The construction industry is able to continue during the coronavirus pandemic while adhering to strict physical distancing and hygiene measures.
Contractors have laid the foundations for the indoor stadium, with installation of concrete pre-cast wall panels almost complete and steel framework erected. Work on the roof is expected to be under way within a few weeks.
The $13.5 million development is the Surf Coast Shire council’s largest project, with Cr Martin Duke pleased to hear of its progress.
“I’ve seen the recent photos and it’s exciting that the works are ticking along,” he said.
“We know most community members and Surf Coast Secondary College students, staff and families would not have seen the stadium taking shape because of the COVID-19 restrictions, so we wanted to share a construction update.”
The stadium will be formed by adding three courts to the existing single-court stadium at Surf Coast Secondary College. It will consist of four courts, a café, meeting rooms, change facilities, all abilities design features and additional car parking.
