This policy provides a framework for the allocation of sports grounds and pavilions to ensure that maximum utilisation of Council infrastructure is facilitated. Sports clubs will be allocated depending on the composition and needs of the club’s participants (e.g., junior, youth, senior and masters participants), and will aim to meet the needs and growth of the club where possible.
This policy aims to maximise shared use of sporting grounds and pavilions in a manner which minimises unnecessary wear and damage to sporting facilities and to ensure that the sporting grounds and pavilions are presented in the best possible condition. The policy also clarifies responsibilities for maintenance and improvement works to ensure facilities are maintained to the required standards.
