SANFL supports Unley Oval fencing

Monday, July 22

STATEMENT FROM SANFL

The City of Unley is exploring the idea of installing a permanent perimeter fence with public openings around Thomas Farms Oval, Unley.

Currently for every SANFL match day at Unley, as well as AFLW games, Sturt Football Club is required to have costly and unattractive temporary fencing installed around the venue’s perimeter.

This temporary solution for every home match day not only spoils what is one of our premier SANFL facilities, but is a poor look for the local community.

We should be able to find an appropriate design solution that meets the needs of the Sturt Football Club on match days and the community at all other times.

Not only will it greatly enhance the match day amenity at Unley Oval, we believe $30,000 a year can be far better spent on our game.

SANFL therefore fully supports Sturt Football Club in its endeavour to have permanent fencing installed.

The City of Unley is now seeking community feedback before progressing with the feasibility of permanent fencing and design concepts.

Show your support by completing the YourSay survey below before the consultation period closes at 5pm next Monday, July 29.
