NICSSA Pavilion Sports Complex plans outlined for £25m redevelopment

Proposals have been lodged for a major redevelopment of the Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association Pavilion Complex.

The £25m project will see a major revamp of the facility within the Stormont Estate creating a centre of excellence for sport.

The plans include state of the art indoor sports halls, changing accommodation, function/meeting space, and improvements to the internal layout.

The development will see a partial demolition of the existing pavilion building and replaced by new two storey extensions providing state of the art facilities outlined above.

Other site works will include the demolition and site clearance of the Dundonald House site to facilitate the extension and development of new international standard outdoor multi multi-sports playing, training, and ancillary facilities.

Improvements are also planned for the internal road network via new access/egress arrangements from the existing Stoney Road Junction, additional car and cycle parking, and new waste/recycling areas.

This will improve the day-to-day operation of the site.

Formed in 1950, the Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association has its origins in the NI Civil Service.

The body serves thousands members across the province and also an extensive customer base.

The organisation is governed by a Council supported by the CEO and senior management team and staff.

The association develops and delivers a wide range of sport and leisure services, and activities and a range of training programmes for members and non-members.

It delivers its services to members through a network of 65 workplace clubs and 14 sports clubs based at the Pavilion Complex.
