Irrigation Status

Stage 1

The Committee have arranged to have the Water Tank located at Field 5 connected to the main water compound located next to Field 1. As you might have noticed, Field 5 is now closed for the next couple of weeks in order to provide it with some much needed irrigation and seeding from the bore water located in the main water compound.

Cost - The Club has incurred no cost for having these works completed.

Stage 2

In order to maintain water levels within both the main water compound and Field 5 water tank, a review of the remainder of the bore holes was done. The bore hole located near the walk way opposite Field 7 has been identified as the most viable water source in addition to the bore located in the main water compound. A complete irrigation system installation is required in order to fully utilise this bore.

Cost - The Committee have solicited a number of quotes from Contractors to find the most cost effective option available. The cost equates to $16,500.00 all inclusive with the works being completed by a number of Contractors. Trenching, electrical and installation of the irrigation piping will all be done by separate Contractors. All of these activities will be managed by Perfection Plus Maintenance ("PPM") free of charge. PPM is presently responsible for the maintenance of Mitchie fields and facilities. Works will take about 5-7 days to complete post approval of the Work Order requested via Brisbane City Council.

This process will reduce the Club's water bill significantly and provide much needed irrigation to remainder of our fields.
