Works on the Sandy Bay site are continuing to progress well. Currently, the contractor is building the retaining wall and foundations alongside Tower Road. Following this work, weather permitting, the contractor will install the drainage system. The steel frame for the new pavilion will then be erected with completion expected for Autumn.

Works being carried out on the new Sandy Bay pavilion are progressing well. Once weather improves the contractor will install a loam at the site and the pitch section of the project is expected to be completed by Spring. Construction of the new pavilion will start with expected completion by Autumn 2020.

The tender for the works on the new Sandy Bay Pavilion was issued on Tuesday, June 4. We are now awaiting submissions from a number of contractors. The deadline for these submissions is early July.

Following final meetings with the design team for Sandy Bay pavilion the tender will now be ready for issue at the end of May. The anticipated date for works to commence is the end of July to allow for the 12th July holiday period.

We’re engaging with local community reps to make sure all the latest updates on the work are communicated.
