A nationwide surge in the price of building materials is to blame for the ballooning budget, with those affects attributed to the war in Ukraine along with other factors.

Wangaratta City Council is set to vote on the future of the redevelopment plan with four options being tabled.

These include awarding the contract as is and absorbing the $3.92 million dollar deficit, opting for the development plans to be remodeled, to drop the plan all together or to re-advertise the development tender.

Should councilors choose the back the plan the facility would soon boast two new multipurpose indoor hard courts, improved stadium seating and a new and improved indoor gym.

The future of the redevelopment plan will be decided on Wednesday evening when councilors cast their votes at the Wangaratta Government Centre at around 6pm.
