Redelvopment
The new pavilion at B.T. Connor Reserve will feature four change rooms equipped with toilets and showers, and a new community space for social purposes.[2]
The club’s facilities at B.T Connor Reserve will undergo a $3 million re-development which will tie in nicely with the start of the National Second Division. The new look ground will include upgraded change rooms, medical facilities, a purpose built social area with a new bar and kitchen, undercover seating for fans, media facilities, disability friendly access to the pavilion and top notch lighting.[3]
