Collector Oval Committee
In non-covid times the Collector Oval Committee have a general meeting every season and our AGM around October. This year however, because of Covid it has been difficult to meet. However we have still managed to submit five funding applications for projects at the oval. The four successful projects are a Sealed Carpark, BBQ Shelter, Shade Structure for the playground and a New Post & Rail Front Fence. We are planning to commence some of these projects this year.
Next year the Oval Committee is keen to plan in earnest to resurface and irrigate the playing surface to include space for cricket, football and soccer and to revegetate the southern boundary of the oval. This is a major undertaking and will require close co-ordination with Upper Lachlan Shire Council as well as seeking expert advice and of course funding.
If you are interested in helping on the Oval Committee please feel free to come along to the AGM and nominate to be part of the committee.
Have a look at the calendar for our next meeting.
