The redevelopment of Melbourne Park is part of the Victorian Government’s strategy to present the precinct as a world-class facility to host various local and international sporting and entertainment events.

Stage 3 of the redevelopment will involve the build of a new function and media centre which will feature a ballroom and pre-function area on level 2. The upper level will have a 200 seat auditorium, broadcast studios, breakout rooms and an outdoor terrace. The precinct will also receive a new 5000 seat multi-purpose show court arena as well as two new match courts and a central logistics hub including central kitchen and loading dock.
