The foundation work for the Horsham City Oval Multipurpose Stage is well underway, as the project aims to be completed in the second half of 2024.
The stage, which is funded via by the State and Federal Governments, will transform the Horsham City Oval into a regional venue for music and entertainment.
The stage will have a raised outdoor platform with light bars, a large screen to stream live events, and rear street access for loading and unloading.
It will also be able to support removable LCD displays on the sides and the back, to create a visual effect for audiences.
Next to the stage, a new structure to support City Oval’s existing digital screen is also being built.
The stage will be the centrepiece of events able to host up to 8,000 people and cater to large-scale music and entertainment shows, which are not possible at the current Soundshell at Sawyer Park.
The stage will also serve as a facility for local sports competitions and presentations.
Horsham Rural City Council expects that the stage will boost tourism and the economy of the region, by attracting up to 15,000 visitors per year.
