St Lucia Bowling Club Gets Water Wise
with an Australian Government Community Water Grant

St Lucia Bowling Club is committed to reducing water use and appreciates the funding we have received from Australian Government Community Water Grants.

The Club has implemented a Water Efficiency Management Plan (WEMP).

A key component of the WEMP is the recently installed efficient automatic underground irrigation system which incorporates 2 x 32,000 litres rainwater collection tanks and pumps, as well as the installation of efficient water saving fixtures in the Clubhouse.

The new system incorporates meters facilitating the close monitoring of water used to irrigate the bowling greens as well as Clubhouse usage.

The total project cost was $54,816 of which $48,480 was funded by a Community Water Grant, with $6,336 cash in-kind contribution by the Club, Vaux Creative Services and Turf Irrigation Services Pty Ltd.

Completion of this key project involved 230 man-hours of volunteer labour by Club members.
