This weekend the Town of Vincent Mayor, Nick Catania, will officially open the completion of the redevelopment work at Medibank Stadium at the Subiaco pre-match function prior to the League game on Saturday. The Mayor will also be presenting the Mayor’s Cup to the winning League team at the conclusion of the game. The redevelopment started back in 2002 when the East Perth Football Club were relocated into the old facilities formerly occupied by West Perth Football Club.
In 2003 considerable work was undertaken to refurbish East Perth’s administration area and the change rooms on the lower level of the grandstand.
Along with this was the construction of new offices and social facility for the Subiaco Football Club who were relocated in December 2003, the installation of match standard lighting, resurfacing of the car park, nets behind the goals and many more minor projects.
In 2005 the Department of Sport and Recreation building was completed and 2006 and 2007 we saw the redevelopment of the Loftus Centre and completion of the landscaping works on the eastern banks of the stadium earlier this year.
The eastern bank has been developed into tiered steps where families and spectators can enjoy the comfort of the grassed area, a new electronic scoreboard has been installed and upgrades to the grand stand have occurred.
All of these upgrades and re-developments make the WAFL experience at Medibank Stadium more enjoyable for all the Subiaco and East Perth supporters.
The Subiaco and East Perth Football Clubs thank the Town of Vincent for its commitment to the community sport and in particular Australian football for providing a first class facility to play WAFL football.
