This consultation has concluded.
Council is undertaking a project to upgrade facilities at North Port Oval in Port Melbourne. The reserve is a vital part of the Port Melbourne open space network and holds historical significance for the sporting community. While enhancing the functionality for sporting activity, the redevelopment will also assist in improving the overall community benefit, including improved access to the reserve and sporting facilities.
Consultation for this project concluded on 4 May 2012 and will be considered by Council on 23 May 2012. For further details contact Kirsty Reidy, Coordinator Recreation, kreidy@portphillip.vic.gov.au 9209 6806.
Background
Council consulted the local community in 2009 and 2010 on plans for North Port Oval. Plans exhibited for comment in late 2010 were revised to meet budget and the new plans were exhibited to the public in May 2012. We are pleased that these new plans still provide the same community benefits.
