Alice Springs - Jim McConville Oval - Ground Upgrades
Latest update
The contractor will commence site works at Jim McConville Oval on Monday 27 May.
Initial works focus on centre of field activities, progressing to field perimeter trenching and clubhouse electrical works.
All works will be fenced in accordance with WHS as the oval remains open to end users.
The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics is upgrading Jim McConville Oval in Alice Springs to be better equipped for future use with sports lighting.
This project will temporarily transition Jim McConville Oval from a cricket and AFL oval to a rugby oval. This facility will be utilised by both rugby codes until the Kilgariff Sporting Complex is constructed. The upgrade will mean Jim McConville will be better equipped for future use with sports lighting.
The first tender works for the relocation and installation of the goalposts and scoreboard have commenced, with expected completion by 28 June 2024, before the start of the Rugby League 2024 competition.
The works include:
- removal and remediation of the existing concrete cricket pitch
- design and construction of a new Rugby Field
- relocation of Anzac Oval goal post and scoreboard to Jim McConville including all associated construction works
- underground electrical infrastructure for the new scoreboard and future sports lighting.
The second tender T24-1249 for this project has been released for the design and construction of sports lighting at Jim McConville Oval.
