A-League club, stadium could be headed to Tarneit

Wyndham City has backed the bid of Western Melbourne Holdings (WMG) for one of Football Federation Australia’s (FFA) new A-League licences.

FFA is seeking to expand the A-League and is currently accepting expressions of interest for two new A-League licences. Wyndham City has provided in-principle support for WMG’s bid, which would bring an A-League club to Tarneit.

The success of this bid would also bring about construction of a multi-million-dollar stadium to host the club’s games. The 15,000-capacity stadium would also include:

  • Training pitches
  • Sports medicine facilities
  • A gym
  • Recovery facilities
  • Community spaces

There is excitement among members of council about what impact this could have economically on the area if all goes ahead. Hundreds of jobs will be created through the construction phase and many more once construction is complete.
