A MAJOR $2 million revamp of the Box Hill City Oval can go ahead after a budget boost from the State Government.
Sports Minister James Merlino visited the oval last week to announce $600,000 would be put towards the project, which would provide a covered spectators area, improved coaches' boxes, a new canteen and an upgraded cricket pavilion.
Mr Merlino, a "mad-keen" Hawks fan, said the investment would make Box Hill an economically sound club that could provide a pathway for junior players to progress through the ranks.
"This is not just beneficial for the football club or the cricket club this is going to be beneficial for youngsters right across the region," he said.
