A new wastewater treatment system is to be installed at Bushfield Recreation Reserve over coming weeks.
The existing system does not meet the current needs of the reserve users and will be replaced.
As part of the project, a number of dead or dying trees and bushes at the western boundary of the reserve will be removed on Tuesday, March 25.
“The vegetation has died or is dying because of effluent overflow from the septic system which is operating beyond capacity," Director City Infrastructure David Leahy said.
“This project will see the installation of a new system with greater capacity that will better meet the needs of those who use the reserve’s facilities.
“The area will be fenced off while the trees are removed and the new system is installed.
“We’ll retain as many trees as possible although some of the cleared area will be made available for extra car parking, which is needed at the reserve.
“We’re working with the North Warrnambool Football Netball Club on this project and the club is helping out with some aspects of the work.”
