About the revitalisation

The Glenferrie Oval precinct, which includes the Michael Tuck stand, is one of Boroondara's most loved sporting and community facilities.

We are revitalising this heritage-listed site for the community to enjoy now and into the future.

Community consultation

We completed 2 stages of community consultation.

Stage 1

The first stage ran from April to May 2023. After we demolished the Ferguson Stand, there was an opportunity to develop the new open space. We asked our community for feedback on the draft landscape plan for the new open space. We used the feedback to develop the final landscape design.

Stage 2

The second stage of consultation ran from August to September 2023. We asked our community for feedback on the draft Vision and Design Brief for the refurbishment of Michael Tuck Stand and Glenferrie Oval.

On 11 December 2023, Councillors received a report on the community feedback and adopted the final Vision and Design Brief.

Next steps

Community groups and partners who would like to utilise the proposed spaces within the refurbished Michael Tuck Stand were invited to submit their expression of interest. View our EOI page for more information. Space allocations won't be finalised until early 2028.

We are also currently consulting with local sports clubs, Cricket Victoria and AFL Victoria to decide on a women’s hub model or tenant model for the sports programming and use of the ground for Australian Rules football and junior cricket.
