Plans to redevelop Walsh Park are set to be submitted for planning which is expected to cost in the region of €5 million.

The revamped grounds will have a capacity of 16,000 when completed and it is hoped that the work would be completed inside the next year.

The new plans could be met with opposition from local residents and it is unlikely that the grounds will be in a position to host Waterford's 'home' games in the 2019 Munster SHC round robin phase.

Under the construction work, the stand will be upgraded to include new seating and a new media section, while the Western Terrace will be terraced with covered accommodation.

There will be uncovered seating on the nothern stand, while the city end will see a seated area included. The dressingrooms and offices will be demolished and new ones constructed.
