Canvas has worked with the City of Wodonga to review and adapt the Masterplan for the 100 hectare Baranduda Fields site around significant environmental constraints requirements for native habitat protection. In sequence with the masterplan activation,Canvas is leading the consultant team in the design, documentation and delivery of the Baranduda Fields Regional Soccer Stadium, the first facility to be delivered on the proposed reserve.
The Baranduda Fields CommunitySoccer Stadium is a facility to support the significant growth in soccer participation across genders in this region, providing a landmark facility for the Albury Wodonga Football Association. The facility includes a significant community social space, suitable for both community and corporate events supported by a commercial kitchen. The facility also has office space and meeting rooms for administration, coaching, and training purposes. The facility also provides gender equitable change rooms for players and officials and associated training and support spaces for teams, officials and media.
The Baranduda Fields RegionalSoccer Stadium provides a playing arena that supports the ticketed game day events of the AWFA league games, including the provision of a total 700 seat covered stadium seating and supporting public facilities including external event spaces and informal viewing embankments of all the three soccer fields(including one synthetic training pitch)
The Baranduda Fields site is benefited by a significant native and cultural landscape, bearing presence to a significant scar tree and habitat for the endangered Slone froglets. The preservation of these environments provides benefits both the project and the context of these, heightening community awareness of the ongoing preservation and maintenance of these sites.
