THE new pavilion at Pat Rollo Reserve has been officially opened.

The Pat Rollo Pavilion cost $2.8 million to build, with Frankston Council ratepayers putting in $800,000 and the state government $2 million. It will be used by Pines Football Netball Club, Pines Junior Football Club, Pines Cricket Club, and students from Aldercourt Primary School.

The tenants at the ground have been pushing to get the project funded for years. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “this is a fantastic celebration for Pines Cricket Club and Pines Junior Football Club following years of tenacity from club members to get this important redevelopment moving. I’m delighted the Victorian Government was able to contribute towards a project that will mean so much to the Frankston North community now and for future generations.”

“This is truly now an amazing facility that will serve our enthusiastic junior players very well. It is everything we had hoped for and something the young football players that come through here will be proud of in Frankston North,” he said.

The project included construction on two new change rooms, an umpires rooms, accessible toilets, a kitchen, a meeting room, and a social room.

Pines Football Netball Club President Jeff Svigos said the new pavilion at his club’s home ground would “attract even more kids into sport from within the Frankston North community.”

“The new facility will be an exponential return on investment as it will keep kids in clubs and engaged. Our clubs give kids a good start in life not just from physical activity, but volunteering and work,” he said.

Pines Cricket Club President Brad Saunders agreed. “We have families keep coming back here because of who we are. We’re not just a club, we’re a family and we’ve always believed that. We always support each other and welcome people. To see this new building, what was once a really struggling old building, is truly amazing,” he said.
