Indigenous showpiece proposed for redeveloped Punt Road Oval

The Richmond Football Club today announced the planned creation of the Australian Indigenous Football and Training Institute, a centre to provide inspiration and employment pathways for young Indigenous people in our local community and beyond.



This is a key element of the next phase in the redevelopment of Punt Road Oval, which has been Richmond’s home since 1885.



The Club also further outlined plans to build much-needed new football facilities at Punt Road, along with a broad range of community benefits, including community sports facilities, meeting rooms, change rooms and offices for the Tigers in Community Foundation.



“Our vision is that in 2008, the centenary of the Club’s involvement in the AFL, Punt Road Oval will not only be upgraded to an elite sporting venue, but once again will become a centre for community life for the residents of the inner region of Melbourne.



“We are thrilled with and welcome the Australian Government’s $2m contribution to this major redevelopment of Punt Road Oval. It will certainly help us deliver significant community benefits from the redevelopment”, said Richmond’s CEO Steven Wright.



“Beyond our initial plans for the redevelopment, we are very excited to also announce today our proposal of transforming Punt Road Oval into an Indigenous showpiece, housing the Australian Indigenous Football and Training Institute.



“The Club is heartened by the fact that the Coalition is considering a further contribution of up to $5 million towards the establishment of the Australian Indigenous Football and Training Institute.



“The issues experienced within Australia’s Indigenous communities are well known to the Richmond Football Club and we have first-hand knowledge of the life-changing impact sport, and in particular, Australian Football, can have on young Indigenous people.



“The AFL plays a powerful role in inspiring healthy lifestyles among young Indigenous men, and provides a real career opportunity for them. Our commitment to the Indigenous community is also highlighted by our alignment with the Alice Springs and Tennant Creek communities as part of the AFL Club Fostership programme.



“Today’s announcement of the proposed Australian Indigenous Football and Training Institute enables Richmond to further engage the AFL, Government and Victorian Indigenous Communities on how the Institute will identify and develop the talents of young Indigenous people from Victoria and beyond – both in football and more general life and leadership skills.



Richmond’s coaching staff and playing group are fully supportive of this initiative and will be actively involved with the program.

well done, Money well spent, jaryd will be impressed

My Mum cam from a house full of strong labor supporters but they changed to liberal because labor became shit. People do change there minds because the political parties change too.
