COMMUNITY UPDATE - April 2026

From Vision to Reality: Our 2026 Progress Update

To our valued Members, Athletes, and Community,

It has been some time since our last formal update regarding the 21-year lease and the lodgement of our Development Application in late 2024. Today, I am incredibly proud to share that the Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink (COIR) is no longer just a plan on paper—it is rapidly taking shape.

As the Chair of the Co-Op Board, I want to thank you for your patience during the quiet phases of planning, approvals, and now the construction phase of your new rink. We are now in a period of immense momentum, with the new facility moving forward at an excellent pace.

Construction Milestones

Our rebuild is hitting several major structural milestones that bring us closer to our grand re-opening:

• Structural Progress: We have completed the concrete pours for the grandstand, plant room, change rooms, multipurpose room, and balcony.
• The "Weather Tight" Phase: All structural steel is on-site, and installation is well underway, with steel rafters expected to wrap up around Easter. We expect the building to be "weather tight" by late April, which allows the builder to complete the project safe from weather delays.
• International Technology: Our new state-of-the-art refrigeration equipment is currently en route from Canada and is expected to arrive in Sydney in early April.
• Power & Infrastructure: Power reconnection has been officially approved by AUSGRID. We are actively interfacing with the Council to secure necessary approvals and gain site access to undertake these vital connection works.

Olympic Pride & Community Spirit

While our physical home is being rebuilt, our community continues to shine on the world stage. We extend a massive congratulations to Holly Harris, Jason Chan, Anastasia Golubeva, and Hektor Giotopoulos-Moore for their incredible performances at the Winter Olympic Games. Seeing athletes who started in our grassroots programs compete globally reminds us exactly why this redevelopment is so vital.

Looking Ahead: Membership & AGM

As we prepare for our next chapter, we are officially searching for a General Manager to lead the rink through the reopening and into its new era.

Most importantly, our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for 18 May 2026. We are looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming AGM, and we remind all members that you must renew your membership by 1 May to participate.

Sub-Committees

If you are interested in the inner workings of your board or participating in key decisions regarding the re-launch, let us know! We are currently looking to establish a Sub-Committee working group to help shape and provide input into the events leading into the re-launch. We are looking forward to hearing from our members with regard to the re-opening subcommittee.

The Board continues to meet monthly to manage the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG), discuss re-opening strategies, and ensure every decision supports a bigger, better Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink.

Thank you for being part of this journey. The finish line is finally in sight.

Alexander Allan

Chair, ISCNSW CO-OP
