We’ll have to wait until the end of the year until we find out whether the Western Bulldogs will continue to play in Ballarat.
The current deal, which has cost the city council almost $1.4 million over three years, expires after Octobers AFLW game.
It includes two AFL and just a single AFLW game each year.
City of Ballarat CEO Evan Kings says negotiations are ongoing especially around cost and value for ratepayers.
“Part of the negotiation at the moment is trying to determine what is fair and equitable.”
“They are ratepayers funds, and I have got to be able to demonstrate to the councillors that there is the right return on investment for those funds,” Mr. King said.
The Western Bulldogs AFLW side will play St Kilda at Mars Stadium on October 27.
