23.01.2022 Always love getting behind the scenes on the big fun projects being delivered by Knox City Council and Marie Wallace Reserve Bayswater is one of my faves. Caught up with Jackson Taylor MP recently to check out the amazing progress being made at the Train Park, with some of the funding secured by the State Government to get this done! The playgrounds will be bigger and better than ever, the trains getting a makeover and there's even a little 'ticket booth' being built next to... it! This project is expected to wrap up in December - ready for the holidays.

23.01.2022 Loving seeing the drainage upgrade works underway at Templeton Reserve. This much anticipated project will ensure excess surface water is removed from the sportsfield after heavy rains, improving conditions for all users. The works are expected to take approximately two weeks to complete, with a further four weeks of initial grass establishment. From early-January onwards, new drainage lines will be visible as the grass continues to establish but will be safe to use. ... Cricket has been temporarily relocated to other grounds across Knox City Council with Templeton Cricket Club resuming play from Saturday 9 January. A fantastic result for both Cricket and Wantirna South Junior Football Club that will set up the ground for some fantastic seasons in 2021 PLUS as bonus the excess soil removed from the ground is being redirected to another project in the municipality. WIN WIN
