Brahma Lodge went from hard wicket to turf. There are plenty of teams that have relaid their centre squares and the process is similar. I was involved with Ingle Farm when they relaid their centre wicket a few years back. At the time there were only a few options - Belair Turf Management and Sports Ground Construction. Not sure what options are available now. Either way, it's an expensive exercise to set up and then maintain.
Were the council involved or offer to be involve at any stage or contribute financially?
Yes they were. In fact we couldn't have done anything without the support of the council. My recollection is that it was part funded by a state government grant and part funded by council. We would have struggled to fund it without getting the grant. You should check out what grants are available (state and local govt) and commence consultation with the council.
