It can add up pretty quickly. I would guess clubs like Azzuri (NPL/WNPL) Kahibah (NL1, ZL, community), Warners Bay (WNPL, ZL, community) & Valentine (NPL, community) who run in different levels of competition would be forking out $20k or more per year on council fees.
Wait. How does players numbers dictate field maintenance?

The field will need a certain amount of fert, soils, man and machine hours and regardless of traffic. Yes a little more materials for an extra team or 2.

There should be a set amount per field regardless of numbers. That way we might be able to reduce rego.
