Infrastructure Development

Council provides a basic standard of infrastructure at sporting facilities, generally this can include a clubhouse, change rooms, toilets and occasionally a canteen and storage. A club or association considering a club funded upgrade or addition to Council's facilities (including playing fields) must seek Land Owners Consent approval from Council.

The process in applying for infrastructure proposals is divided into two categories - minor and major proposals.

Minor Proposals

Shade shelters, fencing, BBQ areas, seating, playing surface improvements or sport specific infrastructure (goals, cricket nets etc..).

• Application received (including drawings indicating the location and design of the works)
• Design drawings reviewed by Council stakeholders, Assets, Sport Services, Parks Operations and Property teams
• Council provides Land Owners Consent in principle approval (this is not approval for works to proceed as further review is required)
• Detailed plans and review of environmental factors to be developed and reviewed
• Agreement between parties reached and unconditional undertaking signed
• Approval from Council to commence works.

 Major Proposals

Clubhouse, buildings, floodlighting, playing field rebuilds and additions.

• Application received (including survey drawings indicating the location and design of works)
• Design drawings reviewed by Council stakeholders, Assets, Sport Services, Parks Operations and Property teams
• Council provides Land Owners Consent in principle approval (this is not approval for works to proceed as further review is required)
• Business case to be developed and reviewed
• Concept plans to be developed and reviewed
• Due diligence feasibility assessment to be undertaken
• Detailed plans to be developed and reviewed
• Agreement between parties reached and memorandum of understanding signed
• Land Owners Consent provided
• DA process commences.

Please note, as outlines in the clubs user agreement, all improvements made on Council land become a Council asset, owned by Council. The 'unconditional undertaking' agreement used for minor proposals includes the understanding that ongoing maintenance and repairs of works are the responsibility of the club.
