Albert Park Completes Major Infrastructure Upgrades Across Multiple Projects

The Albert Park Pit Building redevelopment will replace the 1995 structure with 14 new garages, race control and seven indoor sport courts, with completion targeted for April 2028 ahead of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.

These figures form part of a wider set of infrastructure numbers now shaping Albert Park. Multiple projects carry defined completion dates between 2026 and 2028, alongside specific counts of facilities and linear upgrades that local authorities have tied to improved capacity and resilience.

Project counts and distances

Albert Park ranks in the top 10% nationally for nearby infrastructure activity, with 64 identified projects including the ANZAC Station and Metro Tunnel components. South East Water is delivering a 1.9 km branch sewer upgrade scheduled for mid-2026. The earlier Kerferd Road Drainage Pits project installed 24 new drainage pits and finished in 2024.

A new sporting pavilion at Field 14 and 15 forms part of a $6.6 million-plus sports facility upgrade that also includes changeroom, lighting and energy efficiency works across nine facilities. Onsite works for the pavilion began in late 2025.

Timelines and capacity targets

Icon Construction received the main works contract for the pit building in June 2025, with design and architecture services provided by AECOM and Woods Bagot. The redevelopment secures the venue for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix until 2037 while adding expanded hospitality for 5,000 more fans and the seven indoor sport courts for year-round community use.

A separate $5 million Australian Government-funded sports facility improvements project supports the pavilion at Field 14 and 15, with expected completion by mid-2026. Construction on the pit building itself is scheduled to begin after the 2026 Grand Prix.

Further milestones will be set by the staged completion of the sewer upgrade and the ongoing integration of the new courts and garages into the precinct. Residents can track progress through updates from Parks Victoria and South East Water as each phase reaches its listed target date.
