Needs Analysis and Feasibility Study
The purpose of the study is to prepare a plan indicating potential
development scenarios for Beatty Park Leisure Centre. There are
two stages of this project:
i) Needs Analysis
ii) Feasibility Study.
The Needs Analysis was conducted between April and July 2004
and involved a review of documentation, reports and statistical data
available on the Centre. It included a competitor analysis and a review
of demographic data relevant to the Centre’s catchment area. Detailed
consultation was conducted with all of the Centre’s stakeholders.
The results of the Needs Analysis were presented to Council in a
written report in October 2004. The findings illustrated that there
is a high level of satisfaction towards to the Centre by all current
users and the general community. The study also confirmed that
there is strong support for an upgrade of the facility to comply
with modern standards of leisure facility provision. The age and
uncertain lifespan of much of the plant, equipment and building
requires further investigation in order to accurately estimate
redevelopment costs. For this reason the report recommended that
the Centre conduct a ‘hydraulic and mechanical services study’ and
a ’due diligence building assessment’ prior to progressing with the
next stage of the project. Council accepted this recommendation
and approval was given to progress to the Feasibility Study.
As part of the Centre’s commitment to preventative maintenance
and ongoing building upgrades, the following works were
undertaken during the year:
