Frank Drago Soccer Precinct Redevelopment Planning

BACKGROUND

Frank Drago Reserve is classified as district level public open space located in Bayswater. It is home to the Bayswater City Soccer Club (BCSC), Bayswater Tennis Club, Bayswater Bowling and Recreation Club and the Bayswater Croquet Club.

This project focusses on planning for the possible redevelopment of soccer precinct only. While taking into consideration its relationship with the larger reserve and the existing clubs and amenities located within it.

In April 2024, Council resolved to award a tender for an interim preliminary finding report for the Frank Drago Soccer Precinct Redevelopment. In July 2024, Council resolved to progress with stages two and three as per the awarded tender. Stage two and three includes:

• A feasibility study
• Development of concept design and cost estimates
• Stakeholder and community consultation
• Development of a business plan including development of commercial opportunities based on chosen location
• Preparation of a funding document
• A formal funding approach
