UPDATE – SURVEY RESULTS & POP-UP INFORMATION SESSION

Council would like to thank everyone who participated in the Bay & Basin Leisure Centre Refurbishment survey and those who attended the pop-up information session at the Leisure Centre on 16 November.

The purpose of the survey was for you to provide feedback on the proposed concept plans for the Bay & Basin Leisure Centre.

338 people completed the survey. This is a great result!

Around 60 people engaged with our teams and the Project Architect at the pop-up information session, and provided in-person feedback on the day.

Results:

63.5% of survey respondents are regular users of the Bay & Basin Leisure Centre, as indicated by usage data. Results suggest that 84.9% of survey participants plan to use the facility at least once a week after the refurbishments.

The facilities that received the most support were:

  • Gym (70.8%)
  • Sportsground Amenities (64.2%)
  • Waterslide (60.1%)
  • Skatepark (49.7%).

The facilities that received the least support were:

  • Netball Courts (36.8%)
  • Community Meeting Rooms (31.9%).

Noteworthy suggestions for amendments include:

  • Additional Recreation Facilities, such as indoor sports facilities, fitness rooms, spa and sauna (65 responses)
  • Demand for a 50-meter pool (55 responses)
  • Parking Upgrades (24 responses)
  • Family-friendly Change Rooms (14 responses).

Summary:

The survey results indicate overall positive support for the refurbishment and proposed facilities. However, it is evident that adjustments may be necessary to align with the evolving expectations of the Bay & Basin community.

Next Steps:

Council's project team will prepare a report for discussions with the project architect regarding options for potential amendments to the concept plans in line with the project scope and budget.

Subsequently, a detailed report outlining proposed amendments will be presented to the Council for consideration at a future Ordinary Council Meeting in 2024.
