And I thought I'd give you a bit of an update. So they've already installed temporary access road for contractor vehicles. They've created a storage area for materials and equipment there.

And then the works are expected to be completed in the next couple of weeks, really, with the grass establishment continuing over the summer. So that can really get rooted in.
