The Keegan Street oval was redeveloped as part of the $9 million Morwell Recreation Reserve project, co-funded by the state and federal governments.

The project included reconstructing the oval with a new crown design, upgrading the irrigation system and improving drainage.

A new natural turf wicket block and complementary synthetic wicket were installed in the centre of the ground which has been transformed into a level 2 standard facility.

Local contractor A1 Civil led these works while Traralgon company Langden Constructions installed a new four lane synthetic training wicket, including one for public access.

The upgraded reserve was officially opened by Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester on 11 March, 2021.

Consultation was undertaken with Morwell Football Netball Club, Morwell Cricket Club, Morwell Croquet Club, AFL Victoria, Netball Victoria and Gippsland Power to determine their needs and ideas for the site.

A Project Reference Group including local stakeholders helped guide the overall project.

The Keegan Street Reserve upgrade was funded by $757,000 from the Federal Government.
