I am now led to believe we are discussing the previous site, located on the South Eastern corner of the racecourse, close to where the ovals are hoped to be installed and very close to Glenhuntly Station.

That is the area near the corner of Neerim Road and Queens Avenue.

I did a very rough map measure, which I am sure is wrong, but I got about 260000 square feet or more, which is plenty of room for what we want.

The Club is still working on a couple of issues, which are not insurmountable, so I look forward to the official update.

We have all been very patient with this project and hopefully there is some good news soon.

red, I suspect that caulfield station being a government designated development centre that the state government would prefer high-rise housing on the guineas carpark, right next door to the station ... think 10 stories

despite that the land is trust land designated for "recreation" usage

Wasn’t it at Kings appointment presser that guerra and green were grinning like little schoolboys saying an announcement about training base was expected very soon?

Through to the keeper?

Word was we were looking to utilise Waverley until Caulfield come into existence.

Hence my reference.

You're welcome

What is the status on Waverley?

Caulfield going around in circles ?

The fanfare around Artic Park seems to have gone 🤫 🤷‍♂️

I suspect only those that know actually know why all the secret squirrel silence re the Racetrack. I really wouldn't have thought it needed the cone of silence treatment. Any one would be forgiven for thinking were looking to install an SMR on the quiet.

It was originally rumoured we would move training to Waverley in December.. not looking likely at present.

You'd reckon we were trying to crack the Enigma with all the cloak and dagger.

It's a couple of ovals and a fancifully fitted out warehouse f f s

Get on with it Melbourne

Thanks for quoting me 4 times...

Makes me feel spesh 😉 👍

This isn't so much a long trip... as circuitous laps around the block looking for a car park.

Well I thought we'd found that car park.

Still crickets ...

I expect a very positive announcement at the AGM.

Got some info in the last 48 hours.

Caulfield will happen for us.

We need it 'Red'...in fact why wait for the AGM unless they have other stuff they want to cover up on the night.

Maybe a couple of issues to still work through, but it is moving forward and from what I hear is happening.

Not the best time to get State Government assistance of course, but the community aspect is helping.

Unless something blows it up, I expect the Dees to be training there in 2028.

As to the announcement, that is up to the club of course to pick the best time and and AGM seems pretty suitable with a new Coach, CEO and President.
