EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Noosa Aquatic Centre, located in Sunshine Beach, was constructed in 1999 as a state-of-
the-art multi-fitness facility with a focus on aquatic activities. The facility consists of three separate
pools, a 50-metre heated Olympic-sized pool; 25-metre heated pool and a Learn to Swim (LTS)
Program Pool (20 x 15 metre heated program pool.)
•   The current replacement cost for the NAC is $7,118,910.
•   The overall condition of the assets at the NAC are rated 2-3, (very good to good) based on
    the Asset Condition Matrix.
•   The 19.56 Equivalent Fulltime Employees are supported by a number of casual positions to
    accommodate seasonal and peak demands.
The NAC is operational 363 days of the year. It is critical that the facility is well maintained and
that unplanned outages or closures are avoided wherever possible. To operate at this level, the
pool plant and equipment must be well maintained, and issues rectified promptly.
In September 2015, the NAC introduced a selection of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Depending on data availability, KPIs are monitored either weekly or monthly. The information is
used to track and effectively manage key elements of the service relating to customer demand,
efficient operations and increasing revenue.
In establishing good maintenance and renewal practices, two separate Condition Assessments
(CA) were undertaken. The initial CA covered pool plant and equipment providing a breakdown
of assets and comprehensive condition information. The estimated economic life, asset condition,
repair priorities, expected year of replacement and costs for plant and equipment assets was also
reviewed. The additional CA covered building assets including 50m, 25m, and the Program pool.
The overall condition score of the assessed assets were positioned between a condition 2 (Very
Good) and a condition 3 (Good).
The operations and levels of service are aligned with the objectives of the Noosa Corporate Plan.
A strategy under the Corporate Plan is to enable an active and healthy community. Residents and
visitors of Noosa generally value fitness, climate, and location that lends itself to water activities.
The NAC is, therefore, a significant pillar of the community services provided by Council.
