PORT Melbourne’s North Port Oval will finally get its $4.7 million redevelopment.
The plan was first considered in 2008 and since then delays have plagued the project, including tests revealing the playing surface was contaminated.
The final detailed designs were approved at a council meeting this month and Port Phillip Mayor Frank O’Connor said building of the new stand and refurbishment of the Norm Goss Stand would start soon.
Great news for Port Melbourne, however, who knows what competition the club will be playing in next year.

Good to see it's finally approved. I can't wait to see how TEAC Oval looks in 2011.
The key question will be, what will they name the new pavilion?
Any news on when in October works get underway?

Sorry Bobby,
Just stirring, Can't help myself, Thought you would enjoy that one.
maybe the Steven Lawrence memorial toilets would be quite apt
The Fred Cook pocket or the Frank Johnson wing?
Maybe some thing to commemorate the Bedfords, Peter & his father.
The only father & son to make Port's team of the century.
Is that right ????
