Sporting ground status
Current Status
Council has resolved to turn on the floodlights as listed below from 4:30pm until 9:00pm Monday through Friday so that the parks have the same illumination that they would have if the sporting clubs were using the sporting fields at this time of the year. This measure will continue for the length of the COVID-19 virus crisis or until the sporting clubs take over their responsibility in turning the lights on and off for evening training and games. Grounds are open for school usage during school hours.
