As The Barossa Council has construction works in progress across the Tanunda Recreation Park restricting access to our Hut, the Committee Executive has decided that it will not be possible to open The Hut until late February, early March.
The Bilyara Road entrance gate was locked on 7 January. A temporary fence (see photo) installed inside the park near Elizabeth Street will be locked at 5 pm daily and on weekends.
The Council has said it will approve a limited number of people to access the digital lock on the Elizabeth Street temporary gate and these people will be responsible to open and close the gate on entering and leaving.
Already many of the huge trees surrounding the oval have been removed and a few stumps remain as you can see in the photo below.
This extended closure is disappointing for all of us and is also worsened by the current Covid-19 situation and the need to keep ourselves safe.
The Management Committee will meet in mid-late February to reassess the situation with a view to open The Hut at the earliest.
A fund-raising Fashion Show being organised for April may be at risk of postponement or cancellation but ANZAC Day is expected to go ahead.
