Tatyoon Recreation Reserve, a large 18,000m² oval located in the heart of the town, required a major upgrade to its irrigation and drainage systems to enhance field conditions and water efficiency.

Irrigation Works:

• Installation of a new solar submersible pump, drawing from a reservoir

• Construction of a new 230kL water tank to ensure adequate water storage capacity

• Installation of a variable speed pump with a dedicated pump shed

• Electrical system upgrade to support the new irrigation infrastructure

• Design and installation of a new irrigation system

Drainage Works:

• 300m of main drains to efficiently remove excess water from the oval

• 2,200m of lateral drains to support proper water flow across the field

• 7,500m of sand slit drainage installed to improve water dispersion and reduce waterlogging

• Final surface works to ensure the field is level, well-drained, and ready for use

• Topdressing of the sports surface to improve soil quality, turf health, and surface evenness

• Application of seed and fertiliser to support turf growth and establish a healthy playing surface

• Regular mowing throughout the establishment period to maintain turf health and field quality
