INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  21 JULY 2015


BCC

The Main Hall lease was recently finalised with Noosa Gymnastics Club, who have since
indicated they are extremely happy with their new home. The entire centre is now well utilised by
a range of users, including but not limited to the following:
    Little Seeds Theatre Company
    Noosa Folk Dancers
    Zumba
    Kids Fitness
    Yoga
    Kings House Church
    GANG Ministries
    Hillsong Church

3. STAFFING

The J staff also oversee BCC’s operations, therefore this component of the report is combined for
both venues. Staffing levels are currently at 4.7 FTE which is considered extremely efficient when
compared to like venues. Staff are multi-skilled and are required to cover a variety of duties. The
team has experienced some change of late with one of the main casual employees being
seconded to Branch Management for the past few months and Venue Support Officer set to
leave the team on 31 July.

As a result of the permanent employee’s departure, staff training has been highlighted as a need
for remaining staff in order to upskill and quickly cover any knowledge gaps.

SYSTEMS & PROCESSES

Regular reviews and updating of operational systems and processes is ongoing and will continue
as such as the actions from the recently developed business plan begin to be rolled out.

4. FUTURE DIRECTION

Following the recent Service Review a draft business plan has been developed for The J and a
priority for over the coming months will be the completion and implementation of The J business
plan in order to continue to improve operational performance.

Another priority will be to update agreements with all major user groups for 2015/16 and beyond
at both The J and BCC.
