The following prioritised implementation plan outlines each improvement element in chronological order, scheduled over a 1–20 year project life cycle. Staging the
implementation of the plan will allow expenditure to be distributed across multiple budget years, enhance opportunities to access external funding and facilitate the
amortisation of costs over a longer period. The staging will also ensure minimised disruption to facilities for users.
The inclusion of elements in the upgrade plan does not represent a commitment from Council to fund proposed improvements, works or upgrades. Plan elements
identified in the implementation plan are indications of future improvements or enhancements and are not a guarantee of implementation. The implementation of
construction projects recommended in this plan is subject to relevant approvals.
