Chance to name Cattery’s newest additions

THE Geelong region’s residents can put forward their ideas for the name to adorn the newest addition to GHMBA Stadium.

Kardinia Park Stadium Trust and the state government are inviting submissions for new names of the facilities to be delivered as part of the stadium’s $142-million stage five redevelopment.

Names for the stadium’s northern grandstand, northern plaza, two feature food and beverage destinations, media hub and cricket hub are all up for grabs under the current consultation process.

Kardinia Park Stadium Trust chief executive officer Gerard Griffin encouraged Geelong sports fans to have their say in the process.

“We’re excited by the progress of the stage five redevelopment, and the community currently has the opportunity to get involved with the naming of key elements in the project by visiting the Engage Victoria website.

This redevelopment ensures Kardinia Park will continue to offer a world-class multi-purpose sport and event centre, for generations to come.”

A Ford Stand and Fred Flanigan Room, and the Gary Ablett Terrace were torn down to make way for the latest redevelopment.

Legendary Cats figures Reg Hickey and Charles Brownlow have stands named in their honour at Kardinia Park, alongside the Premiership Stand and Players Stand.

To have their say on the new names, Geelong residents can fill in a survey form to raise their suggestions at engage.vic.gov.au/kardinia-park-stage-5

Submissions close on September 26.
