An independent consultant was employed by the Town to report on the commercial viability of Aqualife and Leisurelife. After conducting an assessment, which included consulting the community both online and through workshops, a report was produced with a range of recommendations designed to improve the financial sustainability of both centres.
This report was completed in December 2016, and the Town is now implementing some of the recommendations.
What's happening now?
There will be ongoing and future changes happening for the next few years so keep checking back to the Town's website for the most recent information.
The full report includes a comprehensive look at all aspects of recreational services including staffing levels and structure so is not able to be a public document.
Let us know how you would like to be involved when the time comes for the second stage of community engagement in deciding the future of Leisure facilities
