Where to from here
Council cannot finance all of the recommendations from the Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex Master Plan 2013-2028. The adoption of the master plan provides council and stakeholders with a sound base to lobby the state and federal governments for funding. This will be conducted in partnership with the Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex users, the community and council.
Overview
Sport facilities play an important role in the local community. Master planning helps to provide infrastructure which reflects community need.
The Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex Master Plan considers:
- facilities and uses within the site
- the current character and functionality of the landscape
- the needs across various sport and recreation uses
- the needs of the community and surrounding population
- trends, issues and priorities
- events and sport and recreation delivery
- car parking and traffic movement requirements
