Milestone for Elsternwick Park Redevelopment

Today marked a significant milestone in the Elsternwick Park Redevelopment with the official completion of the turf laying component of the project.

Steven White, Director Environment, Recreation and Infrastructure for Bayside City Council, led proceedings and alongside Member for Bentleigh, Nick Staikos, and Mayor of Bayside, Cr Laurence Evans, acknowledged all stakeholders and contributors.

Attendees included representatives from Bayside City Council, Sport and Recreation Infrastructure, VAFA Board and staff, the VAFA Umpiring Department, Old Melburnians, Old Brighton and Elsternwick FC, AFL Victoria, Elsternwick Cricket Club and Endeavour Turf.

Sportscover Arena has been synonymous with both finals and representative football in the VAFA for many years, and the resurfacing and improved irrigation quality will ensure the standard of football remains high as we continue to host our competitions’ high profile matches at the venue.

The construction of the new administration building and clubrooms will conclude mid-June.
