Subiaco Oval is being demolished(july to september 2019) except for the heritage listed gates, some of the grandstands,the grass footy pitch and the footpath and Sandover Medal paving stones outside the footy grounds site. The site will have houses/apartments around the oval on some of the three sides of the oval. On the eastern side of the oval they are a building a new school(Bob Hawke College), the school may use the oval for school sport too!?
