WILLOUGHBY COUNCIL

Willoughby, Australia

Project Summary

A full upgrade of an existing cricket facility for Willoughby Council, bringing a tired 42m x 14.5m setup back to life. Gabba poured a new concrete slab at the bowler's end, added a drainage pit with sleepers around the edge of the facility, and laid fresh non-directional green and hybrid synthetic grass across the complete area with both senior and junior lines painted. The existing public lane chain mesh roof was also extended out to 21m for better coverage.
