The scope of work includes the demolition of the Inverarity Stand with the 50-year-old structure which needs revamp.

Australian Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts minister Paul Fletcher said: “The Morrison Government [federal government] has committed A$30m towards the revitalisation of the iconic WACA, which will have far reaching benefits for generations to come by continuing to support local jobs, sport, and culture in the city.

The WACA ground upgrade project is expected to take approximately 18 months.

Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan: “Many Western Australians have fond memories of visiting the WACA, with so many iconic sporting moments at international and domestic level taking place over the decades at our home of cricket.

“These upgrades are the result of the strong collaboration between the Federal and State Governments and the WACA – and will breathe new life into the facility, encourage more people to visit, return vibrancy to this part of the city, and support local jobs.”
