2019-11-12 S&O Agenda - Item 8 - Attachment 1 - Draft Cooroy Sports Complex Master Plan

Football

In 2018 Football Queensland (FQ) completed a Statewide Facilities Strategic Plan. The plan established a
desired range for minimum field provision of between 180-250 players per field, applying this ratio to the
three fields at the Complex indicates an upper membership capacity for the football club/ facilities to be 540
to 750 players; therefore the current field provision is adequate for current membership and to incorporate
growth. Facility development priorities are collated at the regional level and not assigned to specific venues.

The facility priorities of Cooroora United Football Club relate to:
    •    Improved lighting;
    •    Amenities for increasing numbers of female participants;
    •    Playing surface improvements with increased certainty of water supply and irrigation; and
    •    Longer term review of the field and clubhouse sharing arrangement (with cricket) due to changes
         within each sport to year-round access to facilities.

Gymnastics

Gymnastics Queensland has a current State Facility Plan (2013), however the plan does not contain any
recommendations relevant to Cooroy Gymnastics Club.

The club indicates strong growth in participation in its various programs and school activities, however
continuing this growth, in programs and in participants, is governed by the capacity of the centre.

The club has planned for an increase in centre size to:
    •    Cater for more participants;
    •    Improve the layout/ spacing of equipment to address safety issues and enhance the ability of the
         centre to host inter club/ regional competitions; and
    •    Provide storage and spectator amenities.
The existing building roof leaks making this replacement a priority to address.

Car Club

The Combined Coastal Car Club lease the clubhouse and associated event field in the northern portion of the
Complex. Their priorities are to improve the accessibility and utilisation of this building, its sustainability and
to retain their ability to hold a range of larger events at the Complex, including addition of improved power
access and lighting (night events).

Pony Club

Queensland Pony Club Association information is that the Cooroy Pony Club is a strong local club showing
membership growth, with the facility primarily a venue for local events. Logistics of these events require the
club to use aspects of the adjacent car club event space and amenities. The location and ground conditions
make the area unusable in and after wet weather.

The club is not seeking to increase or expand their area and have identified a number of improvements:
    •    Clubhouse veranda roof replacement;
    •    Redesigned and reconfigured holding yards and fencing to meet standards; and
    •    New/ replacement storage shed for equipment.
