Purpose

For Council to note the Sports Facility Development Plan 2023 and Community Services

and Infrastructure Plan 2018-2038 Report card.

Officer Recommendation

That Council notes the Sports Facility Development Plan 2023 and Community

Services and Infrastructure Plan 2018-2038 Report card as at Attachment 1.

Background

Council oversees the monitoring, implementation and reporting of the following key

strategic documents:

•

Sports Facilities Development Plan 2023 (SFDP)

•

Community Services and Infrastructure Plan 2018-2038 (CSIP)

These documents guide Council’s approach to the development and management of

community infrastructure, sport, and recreation opportunities for the Brimbank

community. Community infrastructure refers to facilities that accommodate services

which support and contribute to meeting the needs and promoting the wellbeing of

individuals, families, groups and communities through life stages. These include facilities

such as libraries, neighbourhood houses, halls and meeting spaces, early years, youth

and planned activity group facilities.

Matters for Consideration

Analysis

Council has implemented many recommendations from the SFDP, and CSIP during the

2023/24 financial year, resulting in significant capital investment into community sports

facilities, extensive planning for future facilities and improvements in the management

and delivery of both facilities, services and programs to the Brimbank community.

Highlights of the SFDP implementation included:

•

Significant capital investment in excess of $8.5m into upgrading and providing

new sports facilities including pavilions, sports ground lighting, female friendly

change rooms and sports ground infrastructure.

•

$100.000 of external funding secured from Sport and Recreation Victoria for the

upgrade of lighting at Lionheart Reserve

Highlights of the CSIP implementation included:

•

Capital investment in excess of $1.5m into upgrading community facilities

including kitchen, flooring, toilet, storage, heating/cooling, fencing, acoustic,

access and lighting upgrades.
