Members will be pleased to see the work to remove the old Hibiscus hedge and replacement of the Club's boundary fence, is now largely complete with only some minor planting to take place.
The old Hibiscus hedge had grown roots under the cart path and into the chipping green and was robbing the green of both water and sunlight. This hedge was removed along with the old boundary fence and replaced with a timber fence of the same style as the boundary fence of the 18th hole and Astrolabe Park.
During this process, the two pencil pines were also removed and the stairs to Isaac Smith Street were replaced. A new Callistemon (bottle brush) hedge has been planted along the Boundary fence and the grass along the chipping green re-laid with a plastic barrier to prevent wear.
The Club will now apply to Crownlands to plant native plants on the other side of the fence, to ensure the visual of this area remains attractive and welcoming to members and guests of the Club.
