ACT Government sportsgrounds to remain closed for training and match play


Released 07/10/2022

All ACT Government turf sportsgrounds will remain closed for training and match play today, Friday 7 October, due to heavy rainfall. Closures will remain in place until Monday 10 October 2022.

Closures include turf sportsgrounds but exclude the Melrose and Nicholls synthetic fields and the Woden athletics track.

The decision has been taken in order to minimise damage to turf surfaces across the summer season and in the interests of public safety after heavy rainfall. The closure includes Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 October.

An assessment on reopening grounds will be made on Monday 10 October.
