Punt Road Oval Redevelopment [merged]

[Damo]

Certainly aren’t afraid to put their hand out

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Building materials up some 60% in past 2 years Damo. Getting trades is also super
Expensive as the labour govt blows money on unnecessary projects like SRL. And no, not a rightie just hate seeing money wasted in worthless projects let alone the knock on impact to privately funded stuff like our redevelopment…

I get your point about the increase in material costs, tradie costs. I also appreciate that there was the issue around getting the OK from council and planning to knock down the JD stand but this project was launched nearly 3 years ago now. Not a spec of dirt has been turned.

It's bloody frustrating and annoying, especially when you see other Clubs who announced upgrades after we did almost having theirs completed.

BTW the State government has already tipped in $15mil and going by our annual accounts it's been received. So both state and Federal Governments ($15 mil as well) have done their bit

As I said frustrating and annoying

WP I seem to remember reading about a month ago that the development was on hold , due to the blow out in costs
Unfortunately I can’t remember where I read it so can’t give you a link.
Maybe others with more knowledge can add to this

Yes well aware of the cost blow-out.

What was originally going to be a $70mil project is now a $100mil project (they said that at the AGM)

Still doesn't mean it's not frustrating. Our AFLW side couldn't play home games at PRO last season because works were to start last October. They got shunted out to Princes Park, who know where they will gwt shunted to this season.

And although our VFL side will play home games there this season it still doesn't hide the fact the amenities at PRO are sub standard for fans and it is embarrassing for our Club

How much do they need to raise?

[WilliamPowell]

How much do they need to raise?

They haven't said

They also haven't said how much of our cash reserves they intend to use or if they intend to borrow

[Diocletian]

Was told they need 35 million.....dreamin'....this where our relative lack of support from the establishment and the big end of town compared to other big clubs hurts us and why we've always been chasing them....
