The Development Application for refurbishment works at Jubilee Oval has been approved by Kogarah Council.

The necessary demolition works commenced this week and are being carried out by a contractor - Rainbow Environmental Services. Maintenance work on upgrading the existing toilet facilities has also commenced. An analysis of tenders for the construction work is being finalised and it is expected that a contract will be drawn up with the successful applicant by the 31st of January.

The Jubilee Oval Community Appeal is expected to gain additional momentum when the pre-season commences. Some major events are being planned including promotional soccer and rugby league games, a fundraising dinner and a family day in late April. R2K will release for sale its 2003 T-Shirt, with all profits being donated to the Jubilee Oval Community Appeal.

An added bonus for Jubilee Oval is the announcement of a 6 million-dollar upgrade to Carlton Station by the State Government. The upgrade will include lifts that provide access to the pedestrian bridge from Railway and Carlton Parade, and to each of the island platforms. The station is currently in poor condition and the upgrade is long overdue.
