Have your say on proposed improvements near the sports pavilion at the Dorothy Laver Reserve West.

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.

The proposed works, subject to community consultation and building costs, include:

• building covered tiered spectator seating outside the pavilion.
• creating a path from the carpark to the proposed seating.
• formalising temporary fencing to match existing park fencing nearest to the pavilion.
• installing 2 permanent coaches’ boxes on the northern pitch and moving the 2 temporary coaches' boxes to the southern pitch – the ground surface inside each coach's box will be concrete.

We invite you to share your thoughts on the proposed works to help inform Council's formal funding application. Have your say before the consultation closes at 5 pm on Thursday 29 January 2026.
