The flooding in February brought devastation to many Brisbane residents. Memories of 2011 and the sense of loss were once again in the news and experienced by those in the Terrace Family. Although the flood levels were not as high as those of 2011, it is fair to say the facilities at Tennyson were significantly affected during the floods. Fortunately, there was no contamination of the fields, but most structures and buildings require significant reconstruction. Work continues to unfold at Tennyson, with a major focus on field restoration. A remediation program has been developed, and work should commence on the fields in the coming weeks. Rebuilding the Tennyson facilities looks like a slow process, with the canteen, BBQ area, Rowing shed and grandstand unlikely to be ready until Term 3. Round 1 Football games against Anglican Church Grammar School will not be played at Tennyson as scheduled. The building works also continue but will be a more extensive task and will likely take three to six months to complete. Temporary facilities will be in place in the interim. A working bee will be planned once the works have been completed. Dr Michael Carroll will keep the community informed as to when this will occur. |
