$3.8 million for major redevelopment of Leederville Oval
The State Government has committed $3.8 million in funding towards a major redevelopment of Sullivan Logistics Stadium in Leederville.
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:
- installation of a new playing surface
- new irrigation
- replacement of goal posts, in-ground sleeves and the boundary fence
- installation of above-ground dugouts
- installation of synthetic grass on the western boundary.
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.
