About Lakeside Stadium

The Victorian Government committed over $60 million to State Sports Facilities Project (SSFP) which included the construction of Lakeside Stadium (formerly known as Bob Jane Stadium) in Albert Park. Lakeside Stadium will sit alongside Albert Park's other top class sporting facilities including Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) and will be operated and managed by the State Sport Centres Trust (SSCT) upon completion.

The SSCT's vision is to develop an innovative sports hub encompassing all of its venues that provides a diverse range of programs and events for international, national and state sporting groups as well as serving the Victorian sporting and recreational community. We pride ourselves in operating under the philosophy of 'Developing Champions in Life' by successfully deploying life-learning programs and activities through sport, education and training.

Lakeside Stadium forms the SSCT's fourth venue and will provide a new home for athletics in Victoria with the development of facilities for training and competition at all levels. The stadium will also include administration facilities for Athletics Australia, Athletics Victoria and Australian Little Athletics, and will become the new headquarters of the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS.)
