Controlled burns will be carried out at the Awoonga recreation area and its surrounds during July-August 2008.  Exact dates cannot be given and will be dependant upon climatic conditions prevailing at the time.

At present, various maintenance works are being carried out at the Recreation Area.  In the main car park, the Tipuana tipi trees have been removed and will be replaced with more suitable plants.  The playground equipment near Kalinda Cafe is also being replaced, the emphasis being on a more vibrant, interactive and fun playground for the children.  An upgrade of the adjacent toilet block will also be carried out.  To minimise any inconvenience to the public during this time, we would like to suggest that the pubic utilise the other playgrounds located at Ironbark Gully, and remind you that there are public toilets located in the Ironbark Gully, Riverston Bay and Coomal Bay areas.
