April 19th, 2023Work paused amid voluntary administration for Lloyd Group

The Macedon Ranges Shire Council has confirmed that work has paused on the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct (MRRSP) as a result of the Lloyd Group going into voluntary administration.

The administrators have written to the council indicating they will be in contact to discuss the project and next steps.

Macedon Ranges Shire Council chief executive officer Bernie O’Sullivan: “There continues to be a security presence on site during this time and the council is committed to finding a resolution as soon as possible, so construction on this priority project can continue.

“Fortunately, no other Macedon Ranges Shire Council projects are affected.

“We thank the Victorian Government and partnersfor their support of this important project for the Macedon Ranges to date, and our thoughts go out to Lloyd Group staff and contractors, many of whom working on theproject live locally or in neighbouring areas.”

Work had been progressing on the new sports precinct that’s being developed in New Gisborne to give regional athletes the ultimate home advantage.

Backed by a $14.8 million investment from the Victorian Government, the new precinct is intended to feature an indoor multi-sports stadium with three competition courts, the show courts will be line marked for netball and basketball, while the stadium will also be able to host badminton and volleyball.
