The Whitten Oval VFL Redevelopment project was a comprehensive modernization effort aimed at enhancing the facilities for the Victorian Women’s Football League (VWFL). This project focused on upgrading the change rooms to meet current disability standards and improve overall functionality.

The redevelopment included the construction of new change rooms in the basement of the existing grandstand. These facilities feature home and away unisex toilets and showers, adjustable dividing operable walls, change room lockers and seating, a meeting room with tiered seating, umpires' change facilities, a strapping room, and a medics' office. The internal fitout was designed to withstand the rigors of football, with ceilings protected by metal-framed wire mesh panels and thick rubber flooring suitable for football boots.

To replace the previously used shipping containers, new coaches and media boxes were constructed over the grandstands. These boxes include perforated acoustic ceilings and tiered seating, providing clear lines of sight to the oval through extensive frameless glazing. New coaches' boxes were also installed on the western wing, offering enhanced viewing and operational capabilities for both home and away teams.

The project was delivered through a traditional Architect/Client agreement for services up to 40% documentation, followed by a Design and Construct (D&C) Construction Contract. The consultant team was novated to the successful construction contractor, ensuring a seamless transition and efficient project execution.

This redevelopment project not only upgraded the facilities to meet the needs of the VWFL but also ensured compliance with disability standards, providing a modern and functional environment for players, coaches, and media personnel. The Whitten Oval now stands as a testament to the commitment to improving sports infrastructure and supporting women's football in Victoria.
