The 25 new public transport information screens will provide up to the minute arrival and departure information, as well as accessibility information and options for people with a disability.

The screens were trialled during the Maroon 5 and Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts at the arena last month, and feedback has been extremely positive.

They will be rolled-out at other Melbourne and Olympic Parks venues – Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne Arena and AAMI Park – in the coming months.

Melbourne and Olympic Parks deliver more than 600 events throughout the year, attracting 2.5 million visitors.

The $271.55 million Stage 3 of the redevelopment has begun, with the demolition of the existing function centre underway. It will make way for a new Function and Broadcast Centre —with function rooms, pre-event spaces, a 200-seat auditorium and broadcast studios.

Stage three will also deliver a new 5,000 seat Show Court Arena and two new match courts. The upgrade will be complete by 2022.
