Seafront Oval maintenance works

What’s happening
Maintenance is required to the turfed areas to reduce water pooling in low areas, assist water penetration in times of heavy rain, and remove weeds.

Why
These improvements will ensure Seafront Oval remains a premier venue for both local and major events while continuing to be a much-loved open space for the Fraser Coast community.

When
Work starts on Monday 10 February 2025 and is expected to finish by 21 March 2025, depending on the weather.

What
Planned works include:

  • Applying herbicides to manage weeds;
  • Scarifying and aerating the soil to improve turf health;
  • Repairing irrigation and fertilising the grass;
  • Laying new turf and top dressing to fix drainage issues at the western end.

Community impact
Access to the oval will be restricted from 3 March – 21 March, with minimal disruption to car park availability throughout the duration of the project.
