MORISSET'S tired, old showground is about to get a dramatic makeover as Lake Macquarie City Council invests in its growing western shores.

The council has approved a grand plan to upgrade the Neville Frost Oval, install more spectator seats and an event lawn area to the east and west of a new central showground building.
