No.1 Grandstand - Stawell

The site for the grandstand was decided in December 1898 after the first Easter Gift held here. The contractor took less than three months to build the grandstand at a cost of £593. It was ready for the 1898 Easter Sports. 

The stand was restored in 1990/1991 at a cost of $80,000. With access to the original building plans, the stand is now as near as practicable to the original.
