Iconic pavilion upgraded in time for 150th Nowra Show

The Nowra Showground Pavilion has undergone a major transformation just in time for the upcoming 150th Nowra Show.

The revitalisation project, funded through Shoalhaven City Council’s Capital Budget, encompassed a range of enhancements to rejuvenate the iconic structure, setting the stage for the Nowra Show on 9 and 10 February.

“The Nowra Showground Pavilion holds a special place in the hearts of the community, and we are thrilled to unveil the results of this transformative work,” said Mayor, Amanda Findley.

“Collaboration with the Nowra Show Society has been instrumental in preserving the heritage and authenticity of the pavilion, ensuring it remains a symbol of community pride for years to come.”

The project included external painting of the pavilion, adjacent committee rooms, and retaining walls. Additionally, restoration works were carried out in the carpentry domain, breathing new life into the building’s historic charm.

The project also featured upgrades to the lighting system, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the pavilion.
