Wagga Wagga Council has finally decided to change the name of the Michael Slater Oval. The name of the oval has been in the spotlight following the former Australian Test cricketer’s dramatic fall from grace and high-profile legal troubles. Slater is facing 19 charges relating to alleged offences perpetrated on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on various dates between December 5, 2023 and April 12.
In May, Councillor Jenny McKinnon shared a photo of the ground’s sign post with Slater’s name painted over. “I’ve urged council to change the name of this oval as a matter of urgency. Glad to see that someone has taken some stealth action,” McKinnon said on social media at the time. The council said a new name for the oval will be up for “public exhibition” in the next few days.
