Is this for the standard mowing and maintenance? What's the chances of LMCC providing clubs a refund for a year like this where kids aren't getting on the paddock and fields aren't getting mowed?
NCC don’t do it that way, I believe it’s a uniquely LMCC thing

Council basically mow the grass and empty the bins & the money collected goes into a fund to go to electricity, repairs &maintenance at the facility. They’ll provide a minimal amount of fertiliser on top of that. Rumour has it that they don’t mind liberally applying growth inhibitors to the grass though ��

Blow a light? That comes out of the fund.
Topdressing? The fund.

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.
On one hand, the committees that manage the facility get a say in how the revenue generated by the venue is spent.
On the other, the bigger you are as a club, the more discretionary spend you get for r & m
