innovative solutions and efficiencies while delivering high quality outcomes. The project started out in January 2019 as a civils package valued at just over $900,000 but as the wish list grew, and further funding became available, the scope expanded substantially. The project was completed in September 2020 at a final value of over $1.2 million. Everybody involved got on board with the community spirit of this project, the team going the extra mile to deliver. For the multi-purpose courts the team hand-laid 65 tonnes of Hotmix in one day! The client testimonial speaks volumes of the degree of satisfaction.
