Head contractor announced for Albert Park Pit Building redevelopment

Icon has been announced as the head contractor for the Albert Park Pit Building redevelopment.

The Victorian Government has committed to redeveloping the Albert Park pit building to ensure the new facility can meet the contemporary requirements to host the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix and maximise its use by the community throughout the rest of the year.

The new building will include seven indoor sport courts, two more than are currently on site, and improved clubrooms for clubs using the outdoor fields.

It will be complemented by additional park upgrades that benefit all park users and help invigorate the precinct while continuing to be a community sporting hub.

To ensure the Albert Park pit building redevelopment is also fit for a world-class event during the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the new facility will include:

• 14 world-class garages
• race control, administration facilities
• new media centre
• more prime viewing spaces
• better hospitality facilities

Initial investigation works are already underway with demolition works to begin after the 2026 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix event and continue until the end of the 2028 event. Works will not affect the running of the event.

The project is a partnership between Development Victoria, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, Parks Victoria, the State Sport Centres Trust and the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR). Development Victoria is delivering the project on behalf of DJSIR.
