Council has completed $1.2 million in improvements to the Princes Highway Reserve West Oval by upgrading the playing field.
These works are an exciting project for the local sports clubs and park users, ensuring the ground remains usable and in good condition throughout winter.
The completed upgrades significantly improve drainage and drought tolerance with the installation of the new turf surface and a highly efficient irrigation system.
Works at the reserve also included a new entrance avenue with rock retaining walls and mulching to create garden beds for future plantings, under the Reserve Improvement Program.
This program is used to facilitate the clean-up and enhance the look and feel of our open space reserves through various activities such as plantings, mulching, garden bed creation, re-shaping and grass establishment of worn or eroded areas.
Other works done at the reserve have included:
