Finals Footy for the Port Melbourne Football Club

Grab a pie and the Record, meet your mates. You can feel the buzz around the ground. In fact, you can almost smell the liniment. It’s VFL finals and it’s the heritage of footy. There might not be 100,000 in the crowd… but this is the way we like it. And these people know their game. They’re as committed to the code… as the boys running out on the ground. It’s the heart and soul of footy. So you’ll be there, won’t you?

 

Come and see the Port Melbourne "Boroughs" in the Qualifying Final.

Give our Streets the Green Light

Give our Streets the Green Light and Support the Switch.

 

You've made the switch to energy-efficient globes at home, now help us make the switch in your street by signing the online petition.  It only takes a minute. 

 

Replacing old street lights with new energy efficient technology would save significant greenhouse gas emissions - equivalent to more than 340,000 cars off the road for a year.

 

But your support is needed to encourage the Victorian and Federal Government to help Local councils with the high upfront copst of switching to more energy efficient street lights.

Port Melbourne Football Club to have the best facilities in VFL by 2011

New clubrooms will be built on the Williamstown Road side of the ground as part of a $4,700,000 upgrade of North Port Reserve. The new clubrooms will include two home dressing rooms, gymnasium with warm up/down area, new kiosk and can bar, a function and social room that can seat 300 people. Administration area and coaches offices will be included in the development. The two home dressing rooms will enable the Reserve team to move off the oval when their game is completed rather than sitting around on the oval.


The Norman Goss Stand will also be upgraded and refurbished with the second dressing room being reinstated giving visiting teams similar game day facilities to Port Melbourne. A lift will be installed to enable mobility impaired people to view games from the grandstand. The existing visitor dressing room will be converted to umpires rooms with provision being made for female umpires.


There will be new game day entries from Williamstown Road and Ingles Street and new public toilets replacing the existing will be built. Work is expected to start in the second half of 2010.
This redevelopment is a joint project of Port Melbourne Football Club, City of Port Phillip, Victorian Government and AFL Victoria.

Traders Reach Limit

VicRoads have refused to budge on demands to cut the speed limit along Port Melbourne's busy Bay Street shopping strip.  Traders want an urgent speed reduction but the road authority has refused.  Business Association president Sandy Britter said the 60km/h limit was "ridiculous" and needed to be dropped to 40km/h as soon as possible - a move backed by Port Phillip Council and a local politician.  Ms Britter said traders were collecting signatures for a petition.
