Bondi Pavilion Restoration & Conservation Project

Bondi Pavilion Concept Aerial

For over 90 years, Bondi Pavilion has been a central part of life for residents and visitors to Bondi Beach. From theatre to pottery, change rooms to ice rinks, ballrooms to music festival, the Pavilion has done it all.

In June 2020, Buildcorp was announced as the head contractor to carry out works to restore the Pavilion to its former glory, with the project being completed in September 2022.

The project’s complexity consisted of major structural, remedial, and civil works as complex as the heritage significance. Sensitively restoring original finishes and finds which included the Aboriginal mosaic, painted murals, and unearthed graphics, overhauling and adding new services which include state of art audio-visual equipment.

The Pavilion has been repurposed to enhance the community experience and bring the residents of Waverley and their neighbours back together.

Bondi Pavilion aims to be a national and global leader in sustainability through innovative environmental technology and will be a certified Green Star Five Star Rated Australian Building of Excellence ready for net zero accreditation, paving the way for future generations.
