Grange Reserve Clubrooms

The project included:

• Demolition of the existing clubrooms
• Construction of a new 1,000m² two-storey clubhouse
• Lift access and upper-level balcony
• Changerooms, offices, storage areas, canteen and medical room
• Upper floor function and entertainment facilities with commercial kitchen, bar and amenities
• External works, including reserve access, car parking, lighting and service upgrades

The project was delivered within an active recreation reserve, requiring careful management of public access and clear separation between construction activities and day-to-day reserve use. Known contaminated soil also required a controlled approach to identification, testing, stockpiling and disposal to satisfy EPA requirements.

Before construction commenced, Mykra completed a detailed buildability review that identified approximately 300 minor issues and a further 20-30 items with potential cost implications. These were resolved during the pre-construction phase, allowing documentation to be updated, pricing to be finalised and scope alignment to be improved before works began. During delivery, additional variations included upgrades to non-compliant site cabling, a significant redesign of the car park lighting to incorporate solar lighting solutions, and changes to the balcony build-up to improve long-term waterproofing performance while maintaining the architectural intent.

The clubhouse provides flexible sporting, community and function facilities that support the ongoing needs of the Grange Recreation Reserve and the wider community.

The project combined early buildability input, disciplined sequencing and responsive management of design changes to achieve a successful outcome. Council and project stakeholders were extremely pleased with both the finished facility and the way the project was managed through to handover.
