THE ROTUNDA STORY...
LOCATED IN THE SANDRINGHAM BEACH PARK
The Sandringham Band Rotunda, on the foreshore at the end of Melrose Street, was erected in 1926 to replace the original Rotunda on the same site, built in 1908. The present Rotunda contains a drinking fountain that was a gift to the people of Sandringham from Dr Thomas Garnet Leary, a well known local medical doctor who was very active in the community. The Rotunda was designed by Sandringham’s first City Engineer, William Sunderland, who pioneered the use of reinforced concrete for all types of construction. It was a big project in 1926 and, when completed, band recitals became a popular feature on Sunday afternoons during the summer months. The 46th Battalion Brass Band and the Sandringham Boys’ Band were regular performers.
