  There will be access from Cleland Street to Alfred Road either via Lisle Street or the eastern pathway adjacent to Montgomery Avenue and Mount Claremont Primary School.

  CLOSED: This project has been updated with a new newsfeed.
  

  The installation of the new multi-purpose electronic scoreboard at Allen Park has commenced and will be completed by the end of February, including testing and commissioning. The scoreboard will cater for the AFL, cricket and casual users at Allen Park oval.

  The City has carefully selected a position at the base of the tree line on the north east corner to ensure residents view of the reserve is not impaired.

  The benefits of this type of electronic scoreboard include a central control from the pavilion and an electronic roller-shutter that closes automatically when not in use to protect the scoreboard from the impacts of weather and acts of vandalism. The community will also be able to advertise its events and important announcements.

  If you have any concerns in relation to this project, please contact the City’s Building Maintenance Coordinator, Marcus Sinden on (08) 9273 3500, or by emailmsinden@nedlands.wa.gov.au.
