that Melbourne & Olympic Parks continues to be a world class sporting and entertainment precinct for
generations to come.
Redevelopment works will place a strong emphasis on the comfort of patrons, with more open space and
shade, increased seating capacity, better connections to public transport and the city, and easier
movement into and within the Melbourne and Olympic Parks precinct.
