Loftus Oval - Drainage Upgrade

Project background

We are happy to let you know that Council will be upgrading the drainage system at Loftus Oval.

Oval drainage upgrades are important to ensure the longevity and playability of sports field surfaces and to ensure continuity of sporting competitions throughout the season.  This will enhance the amenity of the open space for our whole community to enjoy an active lifestyle.

Project scope

The work includes:

• Installation of a subsoil drainage system.
• Minor turf remediation for drainage works.

The playing field will be closed from October 2024.  There will be no access to the clubhouse available during this time.

We appreciate the support and collaboration of our sport clubs and local user groups during this process.

We will keep you updated as the work progresses and thank you for your patience.
