During October, the City advised local residents and the community that it was progressing with the installation of a new multi-purpose electronic scoreboard at Allen Park Oval. The scoreboard is being constructed to cater for the AFL, cricket and casual users at Allen Park oval (click on the heading above to view the image), and this work would be undertaken from the first week of November.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances this project has been rescheduled. The new schedule will be available soon.
Proposal
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 email msinden@nedlands.wa.gov.au.

Claremont Stadium - Survey - Have your Say

Claremont Football Club has partnered with the State Government to build a state-of-the-art stadium, which is focal point of Landcorp’s “Claremont on the Park” precinct.
The development provides an opportunity for the area to become a focus for the western suburbs community, where people meet, eat, watch entertainment, bring their families and play.
The vision for the stadium and surrounds is that it will be a place with a strong sense of community identity and energy. It could involve buskers’ festivals, a people's art market or student music concerts – it will be a community centre or hub.
For it to be a genuine community hub, it needs to be based on the community's needs and desires. This is where the Claremont Football Club needs your help.
They are inviting your ideas, thoughts and comments via an online survey. Click here to access the survey.
