New hockey and BMX pavilion opens in Wodonga

A new pavilion and reconstructed change rooms have been opened at Wodonga’s Birallee Park providing Wodonga Hockey Club and BMX Club members with state-of-the-art headquarters.

The new pavilion includes a multi-purpose room, a canteen, amenities and a raised undercover viewing area for the hockey community.

The existing pavilion has been upgraded to include a new BMX canteen, umpire rooms, a first aid room and change rooms that are female-friendly and more accessible, to encourage more women, girls and people with disabilities to participate in activities at the site.

The new building replaces outdated facilities that were no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the hockey and BMX communities, and will complement the existing football and cricket facilities at Birallee Park.

The project has been funded by $1.65 million from the Victorian Government’s Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus program, $500,000 from the Australian Government’s Community Development Grants Program, $800,000 from Wodonga Council and $200,000 from the Wodonga Hockey Club.
