Sportsfield spraying and maintenance
To help keep our sportsfields safe, healthy and in good condition, Council undertakes a targeted turf spraying program throughout the calendar year.
These works help manage weeds, pests and grass health, especially during the growing season. Approved products are used, with lower-impact options prioritised where possible.
Signage will be available at the facility at the time of spraying. Please follow the advice given to ensure the facility is safe to use.
Please see below for a full list of products used, including when these products are used.
Sportsfields are a natural environment influenced by changing weather and other factors. As a result, we need to remain flexible to ensure surfaces are maintained to a high standard. From time to time, this will require changes to the program outlined below.
