Aireys Inlet Recreation Infrastructure Strategy ... - Surf Coast Shire

2.2 Notes from stakeholder interviews46AppendixFootball representative–– One oval in Aireys Inlet would be sufficient–– Junior size, 120m long–– The most natural surface would be best, so it can also be a public recreation space–– A Pavilion at the field would be required–– The field would not require a fence–– Lights would probably need to be provided but would like them to have minimal impact on the site–– The Bellbrae Reserve is a perfect example of what Aireys Inlet needs, would be good to duplicate this–– The team plays Saturday mornings 9-12:30 and train on Wednesdays 3:30-5:30–– The football club could certainly share the field with other sports–– A new field in Aireys Inlet would not impact on other towns.–– The football club may occasionally use an indoor court–– They currently use the community hall roughly once a year–– They pay roughly $20 for its use–– Would be willing to pay something similar (to $20) for a new court–– Believes the football club would help contribute to the capital cost of new facilities–– Bambra Road site on the Painkalac Valley would be the best site for a field–– If a new field was provided the football club would stop using theschool and the area adjacent to the skate park–– Thinks it is important that the field has a minimum impact on thesite and can cater for different sports/ activitiesFootball representative–– One playing field would definitely be enough–– Ideally a full sized senior field would be good for the community however a junior field would be fine–– A natural surface–– The ground would need lock up storage and toilets. Clubroomswould be good but they probably wouldn’t be built–– The field wouldn’t require fencing–– The club plays Saturday mornings and train once a week–– The club could share the field with other sports–– There would be no negative impact on other towns and their clubs if a field was built in Aireys Inlet–– The club would definitely use an indoor facility–– They do not currently use a similar facility–– They would be willing to pay to use an indoor court but it would depend how much–– They would use an indoor court mid week after school–– The members of the club would be too young to use a gym
