1989 Phillip District Oval Grandstand - Michael O'Connor Stand

This sense of pageantry and vitality that is associated with community sporting activities is captured in sculptural forms. The grandstand is an admirable example of the way in which architecture can contribute to the urban aesthetic and extend the potential for the community to enjoy public spaces.

Jury award comment

The buildings isolation within the broader landscape, its inherently simple form and floating roof have been coordinated to create a prominent landmark from Yamba Drive and other distant views. on closer inspection, the detailed steel structure and roof projections provide relief to an otherwise simple building.
