AFL and Oztag players have resumed their use of their sportsground and the cricket pitch has been repaired at the $5 million Lisarow sporting precinct, following damage done to the facility by vandals in May.
Less than one month after the facility’s official opening, vandals and thieves struck on Wednesday, May 20. A large section of the newly laid synthetic cricket pitch was stolen leaving the sportsground unsafe and unplayable.
Council expected it to take six weeks to source the materials needed to repair the pitch. On Wednesday, July 1 Council confirmed that the damage had been repaired and the sports ground reopened.
