The old wooden grandstand was built in 1934 at Jamboree Park in Frankston South for the first Australian Pan Pacific Scout Jamboree in December 1934 and January 1935, the first international gathering of Scouts outside the United Kingdom and the only Australian jamboree attended by the founder of Scouting, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. The grandstand was refurbished and moved to Frankston oval after the jamboree, but was destroyed by fire in February 2008. No charges were ever laid.

The building was covered by insurance for replacement.

The sweeping concrete structure has a 'timber look' and will meet all new Building Code of Australia and Disability Discrimination Act regulations.

The grandstand is costing $2.1 million, with Frankston Council covering the gap after the insurance payout.

The grandstand is named after Frankston Football Club and Dolphins stalwart Bryan Mace, who started as a player in the 1950s, was a premiership coach and is now operations manager.
