It is with great pleasure we share with you the latest news on sporting infrastructure and events investment announced today by the Victorian Government.

As an advocate for important infrastructure developments, Visit Victoria welcomes these transformational projects that will continue to reinforce our State’s position as a number one global sporting and events destination.

The importance of investing in venue infrastructure cannot be understated and as we continue to face increased competition from interstate and overseas, we welcome this announcement now more than ever.

Having recently secured new major sporting events for the State with the addition of the USA and Australian Boomers Basketball Series 2019 and the T20 World Cup 2020 Final, it’s important the visitor experience is world-class and stadium upgrades with technological advancements add to our competitive visitor offering.
