A new multi-purpose 5,000-seater stadium is to be built at Melbourne Park as part of efforts aimed at keeping the Australian Open tennis tournament at its current site.
Work on the stadium, which is part of a $271 million development programme, would begin in 2019.
The stadium would be used for tennis, basketball, concerts and other sports.
