The ovals will used by the West Coast Eagles and the Perth Demons.

Nisbett stated “this has been many years in the planning and we look forward to continuing to work with all our partners, including State and Federal government, to achieve a brilliant outcome for the club, the town and Western Australia.”

The oval to be used by the Demons, including a new scoreboard, lighting and boundary-side spectator amenities is being completed for their first home game of the 2017 WAFL season will the overall project is scheduled for completion in early 2018.
