1. The dilapidated fence at Fernwood is currently being replaced with new fencing. This is happening through the Facilities Management contract. The work is 80% complete and it is expected that the fence will be done in April 2023.
2. Fernwood is part of the areas covered by the Facilities Management contract and is currently receiving routine maintenance services. The planned services include repairs to buildings and roads, fencing etc.
