Local sporting clubs and residents will benefit from a $13.7 million redevelopment of Brighton Oval.

Brighton Oval is a major multi-use sport and recreation facility that is home to rugby, football, cricket, lacrosse, croquet, a pigeon club and a dog club and a much loved sports and recreation space for the wider community.

The redeveloped Brighton Oval will provide high quality sports and recreational facilities, including three brand new purpose-built buildings for cricket/football, rugby and lacrosse, and improved community spaces, a new playspace, shelters, seating and carparks.

The upgraded facilities will create significant economic, social and health benefits for the community, increasing participation in sport and recreation and with the expansion of facilities to accommodate increased female and youth participation.

The project is funded through major commitments by the City of Holdfast Bay ($6.6 million), Federal Government ($5 million), State Government ($2 million), the AFL ($75,000) and Cricket Australia ($40,000).

The redevelopment commenced in June 2019, with the construction of the three new buildings due for completion in April / May 2020. The full redevelopment of Brighton Oval is anticipated to be completed by Autumn 2021.
