As most would be aware, Council was successful in receiving funding through the NSW State Governments Stronger Country Community Fund (round 4). This was to install new irrigation systems, new oval fencing and undertake oval re-alignment at Ward Oval.

This project is a significant part of the upgrades at Ward Oval. It will unfortunately mean that the ovals will have to be closed, and unable to be use between 15th of June 2022 to the 1st of November 2022 (reopening date is of course pending weather/ contractors, materials etc – but we are working hard to have them reopened as soon as possible).

The ovals will be closed to the general public and to all user groups during this time.

The surrounding areas (netball courts, Men’s Shed etc) will still be fully functional at this stage.

There may be disruptions to walking paths and/ or parking during this time. Please be mindful of this if you do go to Ward Oval (to play netball for example).

If you have any further question please contact Council on 02 6836 5888.
