[9] The ground underwent extensive redevelopments beginning in 1958 to allow it to be used as a venue for the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth.

The new construction was named the RP Fletcher Stand after the president of the West Perth Football Club from 1946 to 1962.

At the last West Perth home game held at the ground, in August 1993 against Subiaco, a crowd of 20,112 people attended.

[13] After the East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs agreed to move into the ground, in 2003 and 2004 respectively, a A$4 million redevelopment was announced, funded by the State Government and the Town of Vincent.

[14] It was also proposed by the Department of Sport and Recreation to move some interstate cricket matches to Leederville Oval from the WACA Ground; however this did not eventuate.
