The community is invited to join Alpine Shire Council to celebrate the official reopening of the newly upgraded Ablett Pavilion from 5pm on Thursday, 15 May 2025.
The Pavilion has undergone a significant transformation over the past year on the first floor to enhance its function spaces and overall usability.
Key upgrades include:
- A new first-floor extension with a modern conference space, office, and storage
- An expanded balcony and roof for improved shelter and viewing
- A relocated and upgraded bar facing the balcony for better service and views
- Skylights, new flooring, and fresh paint in the kitchen
- A new dry store and commercial-sized cool room
- A modernised façade and improved glazed windows offering panoramic views of the playing field and surrounding mountains
- New front entry sliding doors, upgraded hot water systems, and a refreshed lobby and public toilets
Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, said Council was thrilled that the new-look Pavilion was ready for the community to enjoy.
“The Ablett Pavilion upgrade is a fantastic outcome for the Myrtleford community," she said.
"These improvements not only enhance the experience for users but also create a more welcoming and functional space for events and gatherings.
"It’s a real asset for the region, and I commend the community members who brought the idea to life and worked closely with Council to turn a dream into reality.”
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the Pavilion’s new chapter, followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to explore the upgraded facilities.
