Netball court project

The removal of soil for the retaining wall has been completed, and the pier holes for the wall were successfully finished with the posts now securely concreted in place.

Installation of the concrete sleepers into the retaining wall has commenced this week. After the footings cure, compacted fill will be added against the retaining wall to create a solid foundation for both the netball court and the surrounding footpath.

What's Next - Our contractor is set to begin the installation of new stormwater pipes designed to efficiently collect runoff from the courts and the new pavilion.

Each workday involves trenching, laying pipes, and backfilling to ensure that there are no open trenches left overnight, with appropriate barricades in place for safety. Once the stormwater work is completed, the existing roadway into the reserve from Centre Road will be reopened for access.

Pavilion project

It is anticipated that the footings may be installed prior to Christmas, allowing for steel shop drawings to be approved, and the steel to be manufactured for erection early in the new year. A construction schedule will be put in place shortly.
