The Westbury Recreation Grounds Clubrooms redevelopment delivers a modern, flexible community facility that supports local sport, recreation and community events. Designed by PhilpLighton Architects for Meander Valley Council, the project transforms the existing clubrooms into a contemporary venue that better serves sporting clubs, officials and the wider Westbury community.
The redevelopment included a major refurbishment of the existing building together with new additions that improve functionality, accessibility and user experience. Upgraded facilities include spacious team changerooms, dedicated unisex umpires’ amenities and an elevated scorer’s box, providing modern infrastructure to support community sport.
A key feature of the project is the new function space, designed to accommodate up to 150 people. Supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen, the flexible venue can host sporting events, community gatherings and private functions throughout the year. Large windows capture views across the recreation grounds, while a generous roof overhang creates a sheltered outdoor viewing area for spectators and visitors.
