ST KILDA has abandoned plans to shift its training base from Moorabbin to Frankston because of cost blowouts and instead will call Seaford home from 2010.
The proposed $11m training and administration development at Belvedere Park will include an MCG-sized oval, gymnasium, rehabilitation pool, meeting rooms, lecture theatre and an indoor sports hall.
The project will be funded by the State Government ($3.45m), Frankston City Council ($3m), AFL ($2.55m) and the St Kilda Football Club ($1.43m, plus all additional costs).
St Kilda chief executive Archie Fraser said the new facility would not only benefit the club but the entire community.
"While the process has taken longer than we had hoped, the club has a duty of care to its members and we sought advice on all available options," Fraser said.
"Belvedere Park not only provides us with a foundation upon which to build a state-of-the-art training facility, but it also allows us to create a sporting precinct for the entire community to use."
The oval will be available as a training venue for the Dandenong Stingrays and a game day venue for local junior competitions.
