THE NSW Government is set to sign a $60 million deal to redevelop one of the oldest stands at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the M.A. Noble, with work scheduled to commence before the start of the home summer.
Plans are also under way to eventually redevelop the Bradman and Messenger stands. All three stands will be rebuilt to accommodate more seats, but will retain their names.
SCG Trust chief executive Jamie Barkley said earlier this year that the Trumper Stand was the first of three parts for a ''masterplan'' to increase capacity to 50,000, with the Noble, Bradman and Messenger stands to be rebuilt by the 2015 cricket World Cup. The final phase includes upgrading the O'Reilly Stand.
''We will be knocking down the Bradman, Noble and Messenger stands to make sure we get that circular concourse and stand continuous around the ground, while maintaining the heritage aspects of the SCG. The Ladies Pavilion and the Members Pavilion will always remain … they are untouchable.''
