One grandstand has been erected near the clubhouse facing field one and another will follow in the coming days, with work to be completed by former Andrew Speed, of Speeds Landscaping. Two new grandstands will also be constructed between fields two and three, with one facing each field.

Funding for one of the grandstands was secured by Panorama Football Club, who applied for a NSW Government grant worth $15,000, with Bathurst District Football covering the costs for the other three grandstands.

A Bathurst District Football spokesperson said the new grandstands will add another dynamic to Proctor Park, which has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years.

"These grandstands will provide an adequate space for fans to sit and view their favourite clubs on matchdays," he said.

"A big thanks has to go to Panorama Football Club, who secured funds for one of the grandstands, as well as Bathurst District Football, who covered the cost of the three other grandstands.

"The Proctor Park Complex has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, with the opening of the three newly reconstructed fields in 2018, as well as tarring of the car park and the construction of a new amenities block in 2019.

"The recent works have only been possible thanks to the work of Bathurst Regional Council, the NSW Government, Bathurst District Football and the local clubs.

"These recent works have transformed Proctor Park into one of the leading sports facilities in Bathurst and the best football complex in the Western NSW region."

Panorama president Beau Yates said he was pleased to see his club help boost the sport in the local community.

"The new grandstands are a great addition to the Proctor Park Complex," he said.

"It's been a good little process to secure the grant money through the state government and big thanks to Paul Toole. We've just been happy to be involved in the process to make it all happen.

"Over the past several years, the complex has really improved out of sight. It's a great facility that you love playing on every weekend."

The new grandstands will be put to use for the first time on February 20-21, when the Proctor Park Complex hosts the Bathurst Cup, a pre-season tournament that brings NPL, Regional League, Regional Conference and Association representative teams from all over NSW to Bathurst to play shortened games over the course of the weekend.
