Ground Closures
For all training, competition and pre season trial game purposes from Monday to 3pm Friday, Council will determine whether sportsgrounds are open or closed due to the effects of wet weather and ground condition. If sportsgrounds are closed during the week, they are not to be used for training or competition purposes. This includes the area surrounding the sportsground.
It is the responsibility of the association to determine if sportsgrounds can be used on weekends without damaging the playing surface. However, Council reserves the right to close sportsgrounds on weekends under special circumstances.
Closed Sportsgrounds and open space areas
The following sportsgrounds are Closed until 3pm Tuesday 22 May
All other sportsgrounds are OPEN .
For more information during business hours please contact Council's Open Space Section on (02) 4350 5322.
Wet weather hotline
Updated information on sportsground closures is available by telephoning Council’s Sportsground hotline on (02) 4350 5491. This is a recorded message providing the most up to date status of sportsgrounds in the Shire. The hotline is updated at 1pm daily and always takes precedence over the ground signs.
