Alamein Football Club and Ashburton United Soccer Club were successful in securing $550,000 in funding commitment from the Australian Government for covered spectator seating and improvement works at Dorothy Laver Reserve West in Ashburton.

We invite you to share your thoughts on the proposed works to help inform Council’s formal funding application.


Proposed spectator seating and other improvements


Depending on consultation feedback and building costs, these works include:

  • Covered seating

    Building tiered spectator seating into the natural slope outside the pavilion with weather protection provided by either shade sails or a hard cover, depending on costs.

  • New path

    Creating a path from the carpark to the proposed seating for easy access.

  • Permanent fencing

    Formalising temporary fencing to match existing park fencing nearest to the pavilion.

  • New permanent coaches' boxes

    Installing 2 permanent coaches’ boxes on the northern pitch. Concrete is the proposed ground surface inside each coach’s box.

  • Relocation of temporary boxes

    Moving the 2 temporary coaches’ boxes to the southern pitch. Concrete is the proposed ground surface to house the temporary coaches' boxes.
