Petrie Park Update December 2023
By Hayley Guglietta
The Petrie Park bowling club remediation is well and truly underway. We have completed the first round of soil testing which has indicated higher than normal levels of arsenic, especially around where the old bowling club shed used to be. High levels of arsenic were expected, given the chemicals used to maintain bowling greens across the country.
If you get a chance, pop on down to the southern half of Petrie Park and check out our progress. There are also signs dotted around the southern portion of the fence.
