Hobsons Bay City Council engaged Fercon as the head contractor to carry out the alterations and extension works to the existing Newport Athletics Track Pavilion.

Works included the construction of new social rooms, offices, meeting rooms and general storage, as well as upgraded wet areas. External works included the installation of a new dedicated fire service, and upgrading the existing water feed, as well as a new BBQ area,  water fountain and rain water harvesting tanks.

We worked hand in hand with Council and the Athletics Club to maintain full accessibility to the track for training, competitions and school carnivals. Fercon facilitated this by proposing and providing temporary change facilities and amenities for the duration of the project.

Another significant innovation was the agreement to dispose of the contaminated spoil onsite under a contamination management plan that provided a significant commercial saving to the client.
