for removal.

works with a push for highlife to be converted to a one way decent.
GC raised idea of amalgamation Mt Peel & Stenner St jumps into
one club. MB confirmed that idea has been discussed in past meetings – with the

sites and funding for upgrades/ repairs/ maintenance can only be applied for and issued to TMBC.
WB raised idea of council arranging clean fill drops at bottom of
jubilee to be utilised in areas of the park where dirt is scarce. Club to
explore this
