Yowzers!!

North Melbourne will boast the biggest and best inner-city training complex in Melbourne under an ambitious plan submitted to the Victorian government.

Under North's proposal, its Arden St headquarters' footprint would grow from 4.5ha to 11.2ha and would be upgraded to include:

- An indoor centre with a large synthetic oval.
- A second indoor centre with four multi-use hard courts.
- An indoor aquatic centre with a 50m pool.
- An outdoor synthetic oval with lighting.
- Sports changerooms and social rooms, which could be used for AFLW and VFL games.
- A café and other shops.

The Kangaroos' plan was submitted in response to a proposed $7 billion redevelopment of an industrial pocket of North Melbourne, which will become known as Arden.

The redevelopment will stretch over 10 years and, by 2051, is forecast to bring 34,000 workers and 15,000 residents into Arden. From 2026, the precinct will be serviced by an underground railway station, which will be one stop from the CBD, western suburbs and Melbourne University (Parkville).

North's proposal is before the Victorian Planning Authority, which last September released a draft vision and framework for Arden.

Jeebus, however if they could work a boutique stadium into it we'd be laughing.
 
Really does encompass all the in jokes on this board doesn't it.

Gasometer, save the date it opens for a beer/coffee at the cafe
 
I was just thinking that for us to ever have home games played at Arden St again we would need a secondary oval because that area needs the green space so we can't go tearing down the trees and locking off the oval to ourselves. Incredibly excited about this concept. It's exactly the big ideas the club needs to have. We've got the best position of any Victorian club and this would be taking full advantage of that. With the completion of the new metro station we could seriously be vying to be the third AFL oval in Melbourne. Would set us up for the next 100 years.
