The Scone Waste Facility weighbridge is currently out of service. The facility remains open for car, van, ute and trailer loads using NSW EPA deemed weights. Larger loads will be redirected to the Aberdeen Waste Facility. Temporary closures will occur on 30 June and 2 July while repairs and calibration are completed.
Funded by the NSW Government, Bosque Landscape Architecture on behalf of the Upper Hunter Shire Council has prepared a draft Masterplan for the Bill Rose Sports Complex, Scone.
Bill Rose Sports Complex is located about 1km from town centre and is largest active sports facility in the region. The existing open space includes a playground, exercise equipment, play bike track, barbeques and picnic shelters and sport facilities including netball courts, cricket practice nets and grass athletics, soccer, rugby and hockey fields and cricket ovals. A Parkrun circuit also loops the park and is well used by people walking and for dog exercise.
With increasing demand and to meet community needs, Council recognises the need to have a clear vision to guide the future planning, provide new facilities and address operational needs at Bill Rose Sports Complex. The masterplan will also help secure grants and priorities funding.
