Update: Wednesday 30 August 2024
Concept designs for a refurbished Sports Precinct have been completed, and we await University confirmation in December for funding to commence to detailed design.
Approval to progress to detailed design will trigger workshops for sporting clubs and other key stakeholders with project consultants to provide further feedback. Melbourne University Sport will advise when these stakeholder workshops will be scheduled.
The timeline for project commencement remains as October 2025, with completion in September 2026.
More information, including a dedicated landing page of works, will be developed soon.

The University has committed to exploring upgrades of the outdoor facilities in the Sports Precinct.
Scoping works commenced earlier this year with the Athletics Track, Hockey Field, University Oval, Sports Lighting and associated Public Realm improvements all in discussions to be upgraded.
A final project plan is to be released before the end of the year, with works expected to cost in excess of $18m. The upgrades will be the first major capital investment within the Sports Precinct since the upgrade of the Ernie Cropley Pavilion in 2012.
