HELP US GET MACLEAY PARK FACILITIES UPGRADED

RE: COUNCIL FACILITIES UPGRADE

The club is please to announce that Boroondara Council has agreed to some well needed upgrades and maintenance to our facility at Macleay Park. These works include:

Sportsground Lighting upgrade

Council are planning to upgrade the lighting at DS Bull Oval (Macleay Park 1) prior to the commencement of the 2020 season. The lighting will consist of 4 new LED lights.

Sportsground Oval upgrade

DS Bull (Macleay Park 1) at Macleay Park is planned to be reconstructed in 2020/2021. This project will include new irrigation, drainage, fencing, profiling and surface. Council will work with stakeholders in the lead up to this project.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU!

The lighting upgrades planned for early next year require a consultation process before commencing works. We need you to submit your positive feedback about the impact of these works. We are also keen to make sure Council realise how important it is that these are either completed before the season starts or that we have access to the existing lights while construction occurs such that we can continue our normal training plans.

Without submissions from our members, these works may be pushed back another year!
