The Lane Cove Council has identified the need to prepare a Master Plan for the future development of the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre to ensure that it remains a valued and viable aquatic leisure facility. Industry specialist , Sport and Leisure Solutions have been appointed by Council to undertake the project.
Key components of the project include identifying the community’s need for aquatic leisure facilities both now and in the future, consulting with community and key stakeholders as well as non-users and exploring opportunities and issues that might be created by other developments within the village precinct.The study will also carefully consider and quantify the levels of demand for aquatic leisure services, explore current and future aquatic trends and predict future demographic impact.
Upon completion of the consultation and assessment process, Sport and Leisure Solutions will identify facility component and service mix opportunities that could be incorporated into the facility and how these opportunities will address future community/stakeholder needs.
