Description:
The Box Road Reserve upgrade in Sylvania delivered a revitalised, modern sporting facility for the local community, completed for Sutherland Shire Council in time for the holiday season.
The project transformed two former tiered fields into a single, cohesive playing surface, improving usability and creating a more functional space for sport and recreation.
Glascott delivered the full landscape and civil scope, reconfiguring the playing fields and upgrading supporting infrastructure across the site. The works were designed to enhance performance, accessibility, and long-term sustainability, resulting in a well-integrated environment that supports community sport, training, and everyday use.
A warranty maintenance period was provided, ensuring the ongoing establishment and performance of the landscape during the first 12 months of use by the public.
