SUBIACO Oval is no more, with above-ground demolition works on the old stadium finally complete, 111 years after it opened.

The former grandstands, light towers and associated buildings have now been removed and the focus now shifts to the removal of below-ground infrastructure.

“Subi East will be one of the most significant Western Australian urban redevelopment projects ever undertaken, and will see the transformation of 35ha of land on the doorstep of the Perth CBD into a thriving community focused inner-city village,” Planning Minister Rita Saffioti said.

“Feedback in the lead-up to the Master Planning process has indicated broad support from the wider community for Subi East, which will breathe new life into one of Perth’s oldest and best-loved suburbs.

“The Master Planning process will allow us to consider some of the feedback and additional matters raised during engagement to date.
