The purpose of this report is to
update the Shoalhaven Sports Board on current capital works projects, grant
processes, and planned maintenance activities related to the provision of
sports infrastructure in the Shoalhaven local government area.
1. Adopt the
Recommendation, as proposed.
2. Adopt an
alternative Recommendation.
Implications: To be confirmed, pending the contents of the
Recommendation(s). Note: the Board would need to propose clear direction(s) for
staff activities / outputs, which would then be referred for Council’s
endorsement at a future Ordinary Council Meeting.
The City Lifestyles directorate
is responsible for the regular operations, maintenance, and development of
sporting infrastructure under the care and control of Shoalhaven City Council
(Council-owned land and Crown land). These facilities range from flagship
leisure centres in Nowra, Vincentia, and Ulladulla, to sporting precincts and
community facilities across the municipality.
Information (for the current
reporting period to end June 2023) about key sport & recreation projects /
facilities is provided in this report, including:

17. COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW
|
|
Project Description
|
The Community
Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CISP) is a guiding document for community
infrastructure across the Shoalhaven local government area. The CISP allows
councillors and staff to prioritise investment in development / redevelopment
of community infrastructure, informed by a base of evidence relating to:
population data; current provision; needs analysis; projected population
statistics; contemporary best-practice urban planning approaches; and more.
The CISP informs Council’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP).
The current CISP is a
20-year plan (2017 – 2036) and was endorsed by Council in 2017. Work to
develop the current revision of the CISP was commenced in 2015.
There is a need to
review and update the CISP to ensure: it is strategically aligned with the
most up-to-date policies and strategies of Council, state and federal
governments; is reflective of current population data (including
interruptions to previously projected population statistics that have arisen
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic); and is in line with changes in
community expectations relating to the provision of community / social
infrastructure (accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic).
