The future is looking bright for Altona City Soccer Club with the long-awaited redevelopment of its home at H.C Kim Reserve now complete.
Funded by Hobsons Bay council, the redevelopment, which involved the demolition of the previous pavilion and the building of a new one, concluded late last month after commencing in July 2023.
As the main tenant of the Seaholm reserve, Altona City stands to benefit the most from the redevelopment and club vice-president Anthony Tanti said its impact would be wide ranging.
“Our new facility is more than just a building; it is a beacon of hope and a symbol of what we can achieve when we come together as a community,” he said.
“It will serve as a hub for young athletes, families, supporters, members and all past players fostering a sense of belonging and pride for many years to come.”
Along with hosting sporting events, the new pavilion at H.C Kim Reserve also includes space and amenities for community gatherings and local meetings.
H.C Kim now features more female friendly amenities too , with improving the inclusiveness and suitability of facilities at the reserve one of the main reasons behind the redevelopment.
Most importantly, athletes using the reserve will have better and safer surfaces to play on, with all fields being upgraded, including new soccer pitches to be used by Altona City.
