1940s - Land acquired by the Board

On the south/east boundary of Lot 223 were Lot 10 and Lot 49.

In 1946, these lots, then owned by a dairy farmer named Patrick Francis Love, were compulsorily acquired by the Board under the Public Works Act. The acquisition and negotiation over price was documented in the Board’s minutes and eventually gazetted.

The land was set apart for the purposes of “recreational ground.”
