Australian Government Water Fund – Community Water Grant.

 

The club received a grant for the upgrade of reticulation on three fairways to improve water conservation.  Also meters where installed on the bores to  accurately measure water usage across the course. Soil moisture testing is also completed by staff on a weekly basis to ascertain the amount of watering that is required.  With this data available to the club funding initiative can be sourced to upgrade the rest of the course.  Water conservation is a very important part of the future of the club and the community.
