Sports field status
Clubs must assess the fields using the Work, Health and Safety Checklist (PDF 117KB) prior to play.
Council determines oval closures Monday to Friday. Sporting clubs can reopen fields on a weekend if the conditions have improved — so long as the grounds are safe for play and play will not damage the field surface.
Please check with your local sporting association to find out about weekend closures.
Current field status – Wednesday 9 November 2022
Please ensure club training is undertaken in dry areas of the playing surface on the fields that are currently open.
