What is the plan around kangaroo and wildlife management?
The PGA, Mulpha and Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club are currently working with Biodiversity Australia to develop a comprehensive wildlife management plan to ensure the safety of players, spectators, residents and animals. Additional signage to alert patrons of wildlife will be a ley piece of this plan, as well as the guidance provided by Biodiversity Australia.
What security will be in place for homes behind the gates, also to prevent visitors accessing lawns and yards?
Tournament security will involve a combination of hard security, soft security, and volunteers, along with strategic roping plans to ensure proper protection for homes behind the gates. Hard security will include professional personnel stationed at key access points to control entry and ensure safety. Soft security, such as roving security teams, will be in place to monitor the event and handle any issues as they arise. Volunteers will also assist in guiding attendees and supporting security measures. Roping plans will help define boundaries and restrict visitors from accessing private lawns and yards. This layered approach will help maintain a secure environment throughout the tournament.
