The new Esperance Indoor Sports Stadium is a step closer, with a local construction company chosen to build the fit-for-purpose, multi-functional facility.
Esperance-based Sime Building and Construction has won the tender to construct the $8.36 million indoor sports and recreation centre following a tender process led by project proponent, the Shire of Esperance.
The awarding of the tender to a local firm will provide a welcome boost to the local construction industry and support jobs in the region. The local content component is expected to exceed 75 per cent, with significant flow-on benefits to the regional economy.
Supported by a $4.78 million State Government investment, the new centre will significantly enhance regional amenity and help ensure residents can maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
The much-needed facility will include new indoor courts, kiosk, kitchen, change room facilities and storage space for user groups. The Esperance Indoor Sports Stadium will also act as a venue for local, regional and State events such as the Esperance Agricultural Show and provide overflow tourist facilities when caravan parks reach capacity.
Construction is expected to commence in May 2019, with an expected build time of 12 months. The first step will be work on a new car park, which will be completed by the end of August.
