For the 2026/27 programme, HCC intends to undertake sportsground subsoil drainage and associated improvement works at HW Shortt Park and Memorial Park. The works include installation of lateral and collector subsoil drainage, drainage-disposal infrastructure, targeted grading, turf reinstatement and associated works. At HW Shortt Park, the works include on-site soakage infrastructure because conventional stormwater infrastructure is not available to receive the proposed subsoil drainage flows. The separately renewed cricket block will be completed before the drainage works commence, with this contract including the grading required to blend the surrounding field into the completed cricket-block levels. At Memorial Park, the majority of the proposed drainage system will discharge towards available stormwater infrastructure. A portion of the field cannot discharge by gravity and will require storage and pumped discharge to the stormwater system.
