BRENS PAVILION

Brens Pavilion sits in Royal Park, between Melbourne Zoo and Royal Parade. The City of Melbourne redeveloped it with $2.5 million from the Victorian Government, and FIMMA Construction delivered the build. Nesco Services delivered the electrical works. The new pavilion opened in September 2023 with eight gender-neutral, accessible change rooms, two umpire change rooms, a first aid room, and upgraded kitchen and social spaces, along with new solar generation and energy-efficient services. It is home to Melbourne University Rugby Football Club, University High School–Victoria University Amateur Football Club and Parkville District Cricket Club.
