Bill Lawry Oval, formerly known as Northcote Park, is a cricket and Australian rules football stadium located on Westgarth St, Northcote, Victoria. It is most notable as the home ground of the Northcote Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket, and of the Northcote Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). Northcote Park was established as a public recreation reserve in the 1860s. However, its location near Merri Creek was relatively distant from the main town, meaning it was neither well patronised nor well maintained during the 19th century, and Croxton Park was the town's favoured venue for sports. After improvements to the ground in the early 1900s, the Northcote Football Club, then playing in the Victorian Junior Football Association, and the Northcote Cricket Club, which was soon a member of the Victorian District Cricket competition both began playing at Northcote Park from 1904. In 1908, the football club (at that stage playing in the Victorian Football Association) returned to Croxton Park from 1909 until 1914; then, returned to Northcote Park in 1915 after the main grandstand was opened. The last of these moves was controversial within the club and resulted in a split of the committee of the Northcote Football Club, after which a splinter group established an entirely new rival club which remained at Croxton Park.The Northcote Football Club remained at the venue from 1915 until it folded at the end of the 1987 season. The Fitzroy Football Club of the Victorian Football League utilised the venue for training (but not for matches) for a few years after being evicted from the Junction Oval at the end of 1984. In 1989, after Fitzroy had departed and Northcote had folded, the Northcote Park Football Club of the Diamond Valley Football League moved to the venue to become its winter football tenant. The Darebin Falcons began using the venue for its VFLW matches from 2018. The Northcote Cricket Club has remained the venue's primary summer cricket tenant to the present day. In 2000, the oval was renamed in honour of Victorian and Australian cricket captain Bill Lawry, who played his district cricket for Northcote.

The electoral district of Northcote is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers the suburbs of Alphington, Fairfield, Northcote, Thornbury, and part of Preston. It lies on the northern bank of the Yarra River between the Merri and Darebin creeks. The seat was created in 1927 as a replacement for Jika Jika, and has been a safe Labor seat for most of its existence. It has only been held by seven members. The seat's most historically prominent member is 34th Premier John Cain (senior). Upon Cain's death in 1957, he was succeeded by Frank Wilkes, who went on to become state Labor leader from 1977 to 1981. Former ABC newsreader Mary Delahunty was elected in a 1998 by-election. As the electorate was safe for the Labor Party, the Liberals declined to nominate a candidate. However, partly due to the presence of a One Nation candidate, the Liberals took the unusual step of campaigning for the Australian Democrats, issuing a 'How to Vote Liberal' card which advocated voting Democrat, and then Premier Jeff Kennett also wrote to voters urging them to vote Democrat.While the law has since been changed stopping political parties campaigning directly for other political parties, that the seat has been traditionally safe for Labor has meant the Liberals have often run dead. Since the turn of the millennium, they have often been pushed into third place on the primary vote, allowing other parties, like the Greens in 2002, to become the main challengers to Labor. The Greens eventually won the seat in a 2017 by-election following the death of Labor member Fiona Richardson. However, Labor regained the seat at the following election in 2018.
