Richmond has been given the green light to redevelop its spiritual Punt Rd Oval, including demolition of a historic grandstand.The Herald Sun can reveal the State Government has given Richmond the go ahead for a $65 million revamp that will see the oval reshaped and reconfigured to the same size as the MCG and space for 8000 fans.
To make way for the next chapter at Tigerland, the Jack Dyer Stand built in 1914 will be demolished and a new one bearing the same famous name built in its place.
The Punt Rd redevelopment will extend into Yarra Park, with crown land between Richmond’s homebase and the MCG transformed into new community space.

The project is expected to cost $65m. Picture: Supplied
Richmond chief Brendon Gale said it was “a really significant moment’’ for the club.
“We have worked closely with the State Government throughout this process and undertaken extensive stakeholder consultation,’’ he said.
“We share a vision for a facility that will deliver enormous community benefit, while also ensuring that it remains fit for the purpose of enabling elite sporting performance.’’
The Herald Sun in November revealed details of Richmond’s plans for its home of more than 135 years, including state-of-the-art facilities to host AFLW and VFL matches.
Planning Minister Richard Wynne has now given the plans the tick of approval and the club will seek a tender for work, hoping to start construction later this year.
“This redevelopment underpins the long-term future of the Club at Punt Road Oval, our home since 1885,’’ Gale said.
“It provides our women with outstanding facilities while broadening and deepening our industry-leading social impact programming.”

The revamp will see a four-level underground car park build with 260 spaces.
The new Jack Dyer Stand will boast a 1200-seat capacity and house the William Cooper Centre, Korin Gamadji Institute, Bachar Houli Foundation and the Melbourne indigenous Transition School.
Bricks from the original Jack Dyer Stand will be built into external paths as part of the expansion which is expected to be completed by the 2024 AFL season.

Losing the old grandstand will be very sad.
New design looks great. If we can maximise the value in the redevelopment it'll hold us in good stead for decades. That's the value of this.
Different situation. But the redevelopment of the Tottenham Ground in London led to them making a lot of money this year. Spent a lot up front and seem to be getting benefits. They play at the ground and our AFL team won't. But we can still get benefit going forward.

I’m all for free speech but this sort of stuff should be looked at for deletion. Not adding anything to any discourse
Regardless of what your views are - whether people like it or not - it is very strategical and beneficial to frame any financial assistance / grants for women's sport. Make no mistake about it, this huge government grant would've likely failed without the women being the centrepiece of the proposal - it's all politics.
Am I suggesting that RFC were acting in a machiavellian way? No, but it doesn't change the above.

once it's built, the facilities would be shared for the most part I imagine...
Or repurposed for each team after 2 years or so...
The fact we presented this for the women, the foundations, the institute is the reason for the funding, next to nothing to do with the footy program would have got us the cash.

i hope you're joking, the W program represents significant growth for the RFC brand , one that the club has taken very seriously, reflected in securing several qty players on good $ adding resources and amenities in this NEW development . A successful W program makes our club every bit stronger , its my hope good times are just around the corner , am confident they are
