Officer Recreation Reserve

Eastern Oval Closed.

Since the end of the football season the Rob Porter Reserve has been closed while drainage and surface repair works are being conducted.

New instant turf is being placed along those new drainage lines and into the goal squares which need time to settle and grow.

Our w**d management and fertilising program is also underway so read the signs and stay off the oval.

We expect it to be ready by 30 October.

There are no cricket matches scheduled during this time.

There is flagging around the goal squares and a number of advisory signs up.

Thank you,

Rob Porter Rec Reserve Committee of Management.
