Well all our AFLW games are being played at Ikon Park this season so you'd think work is starting imminently.

Punt Road Redevelopment
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
The $90 surprises me.
I'm quite familiar with project values in this vicinity and the increases over the last few years. I am not familiar with the detail of the plans - if anyone has knowledge, I'd love to see.
I wouldn't be concerned by the Commonwealth Games *smile* up. That was a budget of 'give me as low as possible' v a current 'give me as high as possible'.
The gov jobs are rorts - costs are doubled or more and its as corrupt as can be.
There's a large problem with costs of materials and labour. Dan's not the only state trying to do massive infrastructure works, which has driven demand for both through the roof.
I work in and around large scale infra projects and have been told the Fed Govt has asked for all State governments to slow down as the nation can't sustain this rate of work. All that signifies a much steeper cost for Punt Rd. But for the future of our club, it's probably needed to stay on the forefront of facilities etc.

All our AFLW matches were scheduled at Ikon Park "In Case" they were in a position to commence re-development.
Obviously they are not ready?, insufficient funds, yes. Have they even appointed a builder from the tender process? it is getting close to embarrassing that we have a condemned Grand Stand where our members can't watch and a ground where our girls can't play.
The club has access to about $50 Million without going into debt, can they do anything in stages? otherwise we could be waiting a long time for the extra $45Million that is required.
They've appointed Multiplex as the builder for the project, I think is supposed to commence before the end of the year. But who knows if that happens.
Pick up from 6.30. Basically requiring poker machine revenue & member$ to fund it.
AGM: President's Report
John O'Rourke gives his President's Report during the 2023 AGM.

Ca you explain to me why thats a bad thing?
I hate our club's ongoing reliance on poker machine revenue. Also the AFL should be contributing significant dollars to the redevelopment. They give us nothing. The only reason we are doing this redevelopment is because our requirements as a club doubled overnight with the introduction of the AFLW competition. Members should not be stumping up for that. $100m is a massive amount of money.

Surely they can just do a $50 million redevelopment, no need to future proof it, just long enough to see out my days, (i give myself 20 years), stuff the next generation I deserve to see out my training reporting days in comfort
