Work is underway on additional landscaping at Werris Creek’s David Taylor Oval and associated Freedom Camping Area.

“The planting of trees, shrubs and provision of raised flower beds will compliment a number of other projects undertaken at the facility including the amenities block, a picnic table and associated shading, which have been completed and enhance separation between the BBQ area and public amenities,” said LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins OAM.

“As well as improving amenity for locals it will also help provide an improved experience for freedom campers when the facility can be reopened as COVID-19 restrictions are further relaxed.

“Council was successful in gaining $247,549 funding for these and other projects at the David Taylor Oval precinct through the State Government’s Stronger Country Communities Program with the support of Member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson,” he said.
