Construction has begun on the new $6 million Scott Reserve pavilion in High Wycombe, with the facility set to provide a modern sporting hub for local clubs and the wider community.
The new pavilion, being delivered by the City of Kalamunda Council, is set to strengthen Scott Reserve’s role as a key sporting precinct and help grow participation in local sport.
Once complete, the facility will provide a new home for the High Wycombe Cricket Club, High Wycombe Junior Football Club, and High Wycombe Amateur Football Club.
“This marks another important milestone in the delivery of the Scott Reserve Master Plan and reflects what can be achieved when all levels of government work together to invest in our community,” said Mayor, Margaret Thomas.
“This new pavilion will provide modern, inclusive facilities that support our local sporting clubs, volunteers, and growing community for many years to come.
“We’re proud to be creating a place where people of all ages can come together, stay active, and build lasting community connections.”
The facility will feature inclusive change rooms, a kitchen, office facilities, and flexible social spaces, along with a shared club storage shed to support day-to-day operations.
The WA Government is backing the project with a $3.3 million investment, including a $2 million State election commitment and $1.3 million through the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund.
The Government is also providing $150,000 across the three local sporting clubs to support the fit-out of the new clubrooms through a 2025 State election commitment.
“This project is about providing High Wycombe’s growing community the quality sporting facilities they need to thrive,” said WA Sport Minister, Rita Saffioti.
“Our local clubs are supported by hundreds of dedicated players, volunteers, and families, and this new pavilion will provide a modern, inclusive home that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
“Through PlayOn WA, we’re continuing to invest in community sporting infrastructure that helps more Western Australians get active, stay connected, and build stronger local communities.
“Our investment in projects like Scott Reserve ensures facilities keep pace with growing participation while creating welcoming spaces that everyone can enjoy,” the Minister said.
