Bonalbo Oval works

Council works to improve the surface and grade of Bonalbo Oval in Norman Johnston Park will start soon.

The condition of the oval has deteriorated badly with an infestation of tunnel ants. The ants will be treated as part of these works, which will also see the oval graded from east to west to improve drainage and direct runoff to a collection pit located on the western side of the field.

Some of the topsoil will be spread around to correct a surface drop off on the eastern side of the oval and its possible extra topsoil may be brought in.

The work is expected to start as soon as the current wet weather pattern improves and is likely to take 5-6 weeks to complete (weather permitting).

Council asks for the community’s understanding and patience while the work is carried out and requests that people remain well clear of the work on the oval.
