Voting has begun to name the future home of Western United.
The Regional Football Facility, which incorporates a reserve and pavilion, is located at the Wyndham
Stadium Precinct in Tarneit and will soon host the A-League club’s home games and training sessions.
Following community consultation undertaken in September, it was decided the new name would be linked to a place, with Davis (Davis Park and Davis
Pavilion) or Ironbark (Ironbark Fields and Ironbark Pavilion) the two options finally put forward.
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard said the two options were based on suggestions made by community members and council officers and were compliant with Geographic Names Victoria
naming rules.
“Davis is derived from an early farmer in the area, Septimus Davis – we have a road
and creek named after him, while ‘Ironbark’ refers to the eucalyptus tree native to
Victoria,” Cr Maynard said.
When complete, the regional football facility will feature state-of-
the-art training facilities including three pitches, a two-storey pavilion and capacity for
5,000 spectators.
While still under construction, it is expected to host Western United home games before the end of this season.
Voting closes on February 18 and can be done at:
