We were fortunate to have Councillor Matt Allison: Peakhurst Ward, Georges River Council, Councillor Peter Mahoney: Peakhurst Ward – Georges River Council and Councillor Christina Jamieson: Mortdale Ward – Georges River Council to assist us, and were pleased to see that remediation works have been completed at the adjacent former Oatley Bowling Club site.
