Cr Mileto questioned the frequency on how often the grass should be mown/slashed on the oval in Spring Hill.
The Director Community, Recreation and Cultural Services advised that the cricket oval is managed by Council and is slashed in accordance with the cricket games held there as well as maintaining the surround of the entrance every 2-3 weeks. There is also a Spring Hill Recreational Ground Trust which looks after the remainder of the site. This is not under Councils care and control. They are able to seek assistance from Council to slash if needed.

Cr Mileto asked if it is Councils intention to take over that land from the Crown. |
Cr Whitton asked how many parks and sporting fields Council look after in the city.
The Director Community, Recreation and Cultural Services advised it was over several 100 parcels of land, exceeding 6,000,000 square metres of parkland excluding trust sites, 9 holes at the hospital, Wentworth and Duntryleague Golf Courses.
Cr Munro asked whether John Holland was able to plant in front of the fencing on Spring Street at Spring Hill to soften the look of the fence.
The Director Community, Recreation and Cultural Services advised Council is working with John Holland to move the fence back to the rail line which will open land for common use and provide space for plantings.
