Bonalbo Oval update

Council has been refurbishing the Bonalbo Oval over a number of months to provide better drainage (via subsurface drainage lines) and level out the surface.

Unfortunately, the project has encountered a number of challenges, including hot and dry weather, followed by weeks of soaking rain and then a major weed issue.

While the current state of the oval is not ideal, the project is not finished and the site remains a work in progress.

Council applied a selective herbicide to address the weed problem last month and will progressively mow the oval over coming weeks to get the grass under control.

Following this, a final surface levelling exercise will be undertaken which is expected to substantially complete the project.

There may be a couple of bare patches where the weeds were thick, but these are expected to be minor and will revegetate over coming months, into the next grass growing season.
