With completion of the contract works achieved early August, Shoalhaven City Council has been hard at work fitting out the buildings and surrounds to make them fit for purpose ahead of opening the facility. Over the coming weeks you will see temporary fencing being removed and ongoing works to the turf to achieve the highest level of play surface.
