Stadium project set to commence

CONSTRUCTION on the $50 million Frankston Basketball Stadium is set to begin at the end of this month.

Earlier this year, Frankston Council signed a $50 million contract to rebuild the Seaford stadium. The finished project is expected to feature ten basketball courts, a show court with retractable seating for up to 1000 people, two multi-purpose courts suitable for volleyball, futsal, and badminton, function spaces, a café, and a dedicated gymnastics hall. Last week, Frankston District Basketball Association CEO Wayne Holdsworth announced that construction will get underway on 30 June.

“In collaboration with Frankston Council, its building contractor Ireland Brown Constructions, and the FDBA, 30 June will be the date whereby the Frankston Basketball Stadium will be unavailable for any further use, fenced off, and redevelopment will commence. The FDBA team have been working diligently for months to ensure that all competition that is normally facilitated at the Frankston stadium is prioritised and relocated to existing and new venues whilst the two-year redevelopment takes place,” he said.

“The FDBA team will communicate with all clubs the alternative fixturing arrangements in a timely fashion leading up to the stadium closure. Whilst it could be seen as inconvenient initially the benefit of moving into a brand-new state of the art 10 court facility, 1000 seat show court and modern facilities certainly outweighs the minor inconvenience.”

The state and federal governments have both agreed to put in $15 million towards the project. The remaining money will come from Frankston ratepayers.
