Work on the facility began this month with a target opening date of summer 2026. The plan is to build the new building on the existing playing fields, allowing the current building to be used during construction.

Kilmac works to be undertaken include:

• Tree removal
• Earthworks
• Temporary Drainage
• Groundworks
• Concrete
• Grading
• Hard Landscaping
• Street Furniture

Athole McDonald, commercial director at Kilmac, said the project reaffirms Kilmac’s ethos to ensure repeat business through client and main contractor satisfaction.

He added: “We are delighted to continue working with Robertson Construction Tayside and look forward to completing yet another successful project.”

Angus Council gave its unanimous backing for the project to proceed despite rising costs last month.
