An initial field ground marking will be undertaken by the City of Cockburn at the start of the season. The clubs must indicate what markings they require on the ‘Seasonal Sporting Hire Application' along with a diagram indicating approximate location on the field.
* Note: The City will NOT do an initial line marking if Ground Hire form is not received by the specified due date.
The City will pay 75% of the total initial field line marking cost and clubs will be required to pay the remaining 25% which will be invoiced with your ground fees later in the season.
Ground markings after the initial mark-up are the responsibility of the sporting club using the reserve. The City recommends the remarking of lines takes place after 4pm on a Friday. No ground markings may be done prior to the start of the season without written permission from the City of Cockburn. Contact the Community Venues Lead for more details.

*N.B. If the club is using paint to mark lines, it is not recommended that paints with a high UV protection are used as repeated application will damage the playing surface.
Use of prohibited line marking agents will result in an $80 fine being issued in accordance with local laws. Please refer to local law Part III Division 2 3.3 (s) which states:
A person shall not on a reserve, foreshore or beach: climb, injure, cut, break deface, pull up, pick, remove or destroy an tree, tree guard, shrub, flowers, grass or plant of any kind or description or, without the written consent of the Council or an authorised person, plant any such thing or sow any seeds.
A field which has been adversely affected by the application of line marking agents, will, at the discretion of the City’s Parks department, be closed down for scheduled sporting activities until safe to play on. The relevant State Sporting Association and fixturing body will be notified of all field closures.
