To celebrate one of Western Australia's most exciting urban renewal projects, the redevelopment of Subi Oval, the State Government is inviting the public to attend Rediscover Subi East: A Free Family Fun Day on Sunday the 26th of November.
The event will feature live entertainment from local WA talent, Eagles and Dockers kick-to-kick, games and competitions, and food and drinks vendors from the local area.
Eventgoers will be able to get a first look at features designed to reflect the site's rich football history, including the new and improved Sandover Medal Walk featuring the names of the winners of the iconic Sandover Medal, awarded to the best and fairest WAFL footballer each year.
The opening of the new public realm around the Oval marks one of the first major development milestones at the iconic Subi East project.

Comments attributed to Planning Minister John Carey:
"It is fantastic to be able to show the community the work done to transform Subi Oval into a hub of activity, and bring people together to make new memories at one of WA's most iconic locations.
"The milestones will come thick and fast at Subi East as we move into the next phase of the project, and move closer to the delivery of housing.
"Western Australians will soon have access to quality new infill housing in one our State's most desirable areas, sitting between the town centres of West Leederville and Subiaco and on the doorstep of the CBD.
"A recent national survey conducted by Place Score has named Subiaco as the most liveable local government in Australia. The new oval redevelopment will enhance the area even further.
"The opening event will be the first demonstration of the value Subi East will bring to the community, its people and visitors, and businesses in the area.
"I look forward to joining the community in making new memories at Subiaco Oval and celebrating the history, heritage and culture throughout the thoughtfully designed precinct."
Comments attributed to Nedlands MLA Dr Katrina Stratton:
"I'm excited to see one of WA's most significant urban renewal projects taking shape.
"The landscaping and public realm plans will deliver a diverse range of exciting new facilities for visitors and the local community to enjoy, creating new spaces for recreation, rest and relaxation.
"I urge everyone to attend this free family fun day to experience first-hand how Subiaco Oval now celebrates the important history of Subiaco, while transforming the space into a vibrant and connected community."
