YARRA: $12.8m boost for Brunswick St Oval
Local sports clubs in Fitzroy can look forward to a new home ground advantage with major upgrades underway at Brunswick St Oval.
Community Sport Minister Ros Spence (pictured) visited the oval to mark the official start of works, made possible by a $12.8 million investment.
A new two-storey sports pavilion will include two female friendly change rooms, a first aid room, kiosk, social space and kitchen.
This will enable Fitzroy Football Club, Fitzroy Junior Football Club and Edinburgh Cricket Club to host more training and competitions.
Fitzroy Tennis Club’s facilities are getting a revamp with the existing six courts set for an upgrade and two new courts on the way.
The clubhouse will also be relocated and improved.
Facilities in the historic Kevin Murray Stand are also having a facelift.
This includes upgrades to the public toilets, improved umpire changerooms, and new stairs.
