Kudos to the social committee & all who assisted. The committee members have continued to spend a lot of time on the proposed pavilion redevelopment. Greg Purser especially continues to be heavily involved in attending meetings, hosting site visits & liaising with council. The proposal went out to tender in October & at the time of writing is expected to be awarded in late November 2019, with build dates estimated as March 2020 to February 2021. It is a very exciting time for the club with the end result being a fantastic community hockey facility to make the short-term pain worthwhile. The new uniform becomes compulsory across the club in 2020. Many players are already sporting the new uniform & we looking forward to seeing the new design at all levels.

  • Western Community Cycling Hub Submission to Maribyrnong Council Hansen Reserve Draft Master Plan
    Western Community Cycling Hub Submission to Maribyrnong Council Hansen Reserve Draft Master Plan Prepared by Western Riders, Promoting Cycling in the Inner West https://www.facebook.com/sunsetvelodrome/ Contact person: Dr John Symons 20 Barnet St Yarraville 0434 870 981 [email protected] Western Riders Committee Members Rob Cust, Megan Bridger-Darling, Murray Jenkins, Colin McEvoy, Matt Rodd John Symons 1 Executive Summary Maribyrnong Council have called for community input into the development of a Master plan for Hansen Reserve West Footscray and this submission proposes a focus on cycling in the Master Plan. Cycling was a very popular pastime during the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century with many clubs forming in the western suburbs. During this period, the Footscray Velodrome was constructed in Hansen Reserve in the mid-1930s and existed until the mid-2000s when the top layer was removed after a failed re-surfacing attempt. Despite this approximately 70% of the banking of the cycling track still exists and the area is unspecified open space. The removal of the Footscray velodrome has led to a complete absence in cycling facilities for the whole of the western suburbs as compared to the north, east and south of Melbourne that have many clubs and extensive facilities. Cycling participation levels are declining in Australia, however, research suggests there is a large latent demand for cycling. While Australians are cycling less they are also doing less physical activity with more than 1 in 2 Australians not meeting their recommended daily amounts of physical activity.
