The volleyball courts at Seven Mile Public Beach will be closed until further notice as the Public Works Department carries out renovations to replace the courts which were not compliant with international competition specifications.
“The sand has now become compacted, which increases risk of bodily injury. It was thereon necessary to replace the sand towards enhancing and safeguarding this public facility,” Minister for Lands Juliana O’Connor-Connolly said in a press release.
The courts will be excavated to remove the old sand which will be stored off-site at the National Roads Authority’s depot, according to the release.
The sand will be replaced by excess sand taken from a local development on Seven Mile Beach. The refurbishments are expected to finish in late June.
