Men's Shed Construction at Black Rocks

A small section of Black Rocks Sports Field will be closed to the public from Thursday 29 June 2017, while construction of the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed is underway.

Site preparations begin on Thursday, with shed construction starting on Monday 3 July and expected to take four weeks.

Public access to the rest of the Black Rocks Sports Field will not be affected during this period. See the Men’s Shed site map in Available Downloads for the location of the fenced construction area.

For further information about the works, contact Council on (02) 6670 2400.

The building will provide a new home for the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed, part of the Australian Men’s Shed Association to promote physical and mental well-being in men.

Sportsfield Bookings

Tweed Shire Council allows the hire of all our Sports fields, dependant on availability. The majority of Council’s Sports fields are under a seasonal licence agreement with local sports clubs. However these can be used by the general public outside of the agreed licenced hours.
