With its beautiful, sustainable design, gender-inclusive changerooms, publicly accessible toilet and community social rooms, the redeveloped KP Hardiman Reserve Pavilion will help to meet the needs of our growing community.

At the official opening on Friday 7 November, Phil Nguyen, President of La Trobe University Hockey Club, acknowledged Council’s commitment to supporting community sport, particularly for women and juniors.

“What a special day this is for our club, and for Darebin. Now we have one of the most modern clubrooms to go with our state-of-the-art pitch. You’ve given our club and our sport of hockey the facilities we need to grow and thrive.”
