A rollcall of Australian sporting stars has invested in the project, such as AFL greats Adam Goodes and Scott Pendlebury and tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis.
In 1962, the Victorian Football League bought 80 hectares of cow paddocks in Mulgrave – just beyond Melbourne’s fast-encroaching city limits.
The setting is Tarneit, where three soccer pitches and a 5000-seat pavilion have just been built among the peri-urban farms on the western side of the regional rail link. The site is so isolated, signage in club colours was strung up on fences along the partially constructed road leading towards the stadium. It read: “NO, YOU’RE NOT LOST … KEEP GOING!”
“People don’t realise: yes we are building a sport franchise, but at the same time we’ve been paddling so fast underwater on the property side,” Sourasis said.
