John Rabjones Oval car park upgrade

We upgraded the car park at John Rabjones Oval to make it more flood-resistant and ensure easy access for players and visitors to the cricket and AFL facilities, as well as the sports fields.

The project added a new accessible parking space and connecting footpaths to improve access to the clubhouse, canteen, grandstand, and changing rooms. These upgrades made the sports facilities more accessible and user-friendly, enhancing the experience for both locals and visitors.
