The City of Vincent will be moving ahead with its plans for the future of Litis Stadium in 2023.
After nearly 60 years, the grandstand at Litis Stadium will be removed. The concrete and steel structures holding the building up have become structurally unsound and cannot be repaired.
Works are due to start in April 2023 and are expected to take approximately four weeks.
Demolition of the Litis Grandstand and the adjacent ablution building is the first stage of works for the Britannia North West Development Plan.
Council endorsed the Britannia North West Development Plan in November 2021, which provides for a new multi-sports changeroom facility to be constructed on the grandstand footprint.
The Australian Government notified Vincent in October 2022 that it will provide a $3 million grant, subject to the project being fully delivered by 30 June 2026 and a funding agreement executed by 28 April 2023.
Historical elements of the Litis Stadium grandstand will be salvaged and incorporated into the new building, ensuring a strong connection to the important local history at the site will be maintained.
Once developed, the new changerooms would support the diversification of sporting codes using Litis and the female football players coming through the ranks at Floreat Athena.
