In a media statement Northern Grampians Shire Council predicted electrical would commence in October with a new power supply to the building coming from Newington Road.

The North Park precinct will also undergo upgrades to stormwater drainage and moving of the goalposts on the oval.

The Council advised North Park would be cordoned off in the coming months for these works and park users and residents would be notified well in advance of the specific dates of the works.

Northern Grampians Shire Mayor Cr Murray Emerson said he was "very pleased" with the progress to date of North Park and has been checking in on it regularly.

"It is wonderful to see the roof work being finalised as it gives us a very clear idea of what the building will look like in its setting and also means that we are nearing lock-up stage," he said.

"Hopefully there are no further delays to the project and the community and user groups can begin to enjoy this amazing facility in early 2021."
