WACA Ground signs naming rights deal with Bunnings Warehouse

The WACA Ground has announced a short-term naming rights partnership with Bunnings Warehouse, designating the famous eastern and western grass banks at the historic venue as the ‘Bunnings Grass Banks’ until 2026.

With the historic ground going through a $168.9 million redevelopment, the collaboration sees Bunnings Warehouse as the first official naming rights partner for the upgraded WACA Ground.

While the northern end of the Ground will enter a new era when the project opens in line with the 2025/26 cricket season, fans can still unfurl their picnic rugs and settle into their camping chairs on the immaculately maintained Bunnings Grass Banks this summer.

The partnership signage will see Bunnings signage displayed at the venue for all men’s and women’s domestic fixtures across the 2024/25 season.

Welcoming the partnership, WA Cricket Chief Executive, John Stephenson stated “we are thrilled to welcome Bunnings Warehouse as our first WACA Ground naming rights partner.

"The Bunnings Grass Banks have long been a favourite gathering spot for cricket fans across WA, bringing the community together to celebrate our great sport.

“Bunnings shares our passion for fostering community spirit and delivering the best experience.”

Bunnings Group Managing Director, Michael Schneider added “we’re excited to partner with the iconic WACA Ground and look forward to seeing families and friends come together to enjoy live cricket on the Bunnings Grass Banks.”

The WACA Ground Improvement Project is facilitated by WA Cricket and the WA Cricket Foundation, and Cricket Australia, along with local, state, and federal governments as part of the 10-year, $1.7 billion Perth City Deal.
