Tara Murray The next stage of the redevelopment of MacPherson Park is a step closer with Melton council appointing a contractor for the second oval redevelopment. Local business McMahons Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract for the $2.45 million project which will include a new purpose-built, competition-standard sports ground with new turf table and all associated infrastructure, including new access road, car parking, sports ground lighting and other reserve landscaping. The council has also outlined plans to employ local contractors to complete lighting, paths, carpark, and irrigation works. The oval is set to be ready later this year, with the Melton cricket and football clubs set to use it.
