After months of entries and interest in the Local Government Focus, Greenkeepers International competition, the refurbished $10,000 cricket pitch roller has arrived at its new home.
Darryl Davidson of Greenkeepers delivered the roller to the Goulburn Mulwaree Council in late October.
The council was entered into the competition by Matt Lee of the Marulan Cricket Club.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council Mayor Peter Walker said the win came as a pleasant surprise.
“Council were extremely surprised to win this competition,” Mayor Walker said.
He said as it was a Marulan member who entered.
It will now be used at that club, where it replaces a worn out roller.
“Goulburn Mulwaree Council is a local government area located in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, encompassing Goulburn, Marulan, Tarago, Towrang and other villages,” the Mayor explained.
“The council was formed in 2004 as the Greater Argyle Council as an amalgamation of Goulburn City and parts of the former Mulwaree Shire. It was renamed in 2005 to Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
“Goulburn Mulwaree Council encompasses a land area of 3223 square kilometers, and has a current population of 30,852 people.
“Council is responsible for the provision of water, sewer and waste services along with maintenance of the region’s road networks and construction.
“Some of council’s most recent exciting capital works programs is the redeveloped Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre, and the new Goulburn Performing Arts Centre (GPAC).”
