xi)
endorse the
people-centric approach used to develop the plan
xii)
express concern that
having only one objective for council’s investment in sport - to
increase participation in community sport - is potentially limiting,
particularly considering the agenda report states that ‘the plan will
guide all council investment in sport'
xiii) note that both active and passive sport and
recreation contribute to enhanced outcomes, in particular physical
activity, health and wellbeing, and social and community benefits
xiv) request connecting new and emerging sports with
well-established sports to leverage off existing facility investment and to
enable trial projects to be undertaken, such as adding temporary court
markings, before investing in more permanent solutions
xv)
express concern that
incidental infrastructure such as clubrooms are identified as lower
priority as these facilities are a key part of bringing people and
communities together
xvi) express concern should this plan be used to
inadvertently add costs to our sports clubs and organisations through
charges for sports field use, increased facility hire or increased
community lease costs
xvii) express concern that the draft plan includes
limited analysis and information relating to the quantum of funding council
currently provides in support of sport, and in particular, the lack of
information regarding the potential under-funding of sport now and in the
future
xviii) express concern that the draft Sport Investment
Plan may have a detrimental impact on the ability of community sports clubs
or organisations to partner with council to receive support for renewal and
maintenance costs associated with community-owned buildings and assets
(such as playing surfaces) on council-owned land
xix) express concern that the draft Sport Investment
Plan has the ability to undermine the current community club based sport
model and does not analyse the potential financial and social impact if the
sport delivery model is changed
xx)
express concern with
the lack of analysis on the potential impact on sport volunteers
(administrators, managers, coaches etc) and seek confirmation on how
council will mobilise and coordinate the volunteer participation in sport
if community sports clubs are weakened
xxi) endorse the use of partnerships to address the
current and future investment required in sport facilities
xxii) endorse the close alignment between the Sport
Investment Plan and the Facility Partnerships Policy when setting up and
investing in community partnerships with the various sporting codes.
