- City of Ballarat Community Development Director Neville Ivey
"The Western Bulldogs remain fully committed to a long-term partnership and relationship with the Ballarat community. There is no intention for any changes to the ongoing commitment to play AFL games in Ballarat.
We understand the primary Whitten Oval redevelopment focus is for events other than AFL as part of its ongoing commitment to the local community as the Whitten Oval becomes the community hub for the west.
The City of Ballarat is working with the State Government to deliver improved fan amenities at Mars Stadium, with a current election commitment of $6.6 million announced prior to the State election. The City of Ballarat continues to advocate for AFLW matches given the success of the last two years where AFLW practice matches have been successfully hosted at Mars Stadium."
