Formerly known as Leederville Oval, the stadium is a premier football ground and home to the East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs.
The proposed upgrades to turf and lighting will deliver a Tier 2 venue able to host both AFL and AFLW games.
Stage one of the project will include:
Stage two will see the installation of 1000 lux broadcast floodlighting and a transformer upgrade, meaning WAFL and WAFLW matches can be played at night, providing more fixture options for the 2025 season.
Other contributions for the project have been secured from the West Australian Football Commission, the AFL, and the East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs.
The tender process is underway by the City of Vincent with construction expected to begin in October and works are estimated to be completed in March 2025.
