EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Noosa Leisure Centre Coordinator to the Services &
Organisation Committee meeting dated 8 September 2020, providing an update on the activities
of the Noosa Leisure Centre for the 2019/20 financial year.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to advise Councillors of the Noosa Leisure Centre’s (NLC) activities
for the year ending 30 June 2020.

The NLC caters for badminton, futsal (indoor soccer), netball, basketball, volleyball, pickleball,
kids’ playroom, group fitness classes, indoor rock climbing, corporate training including Council
programs and school sessions, special events and venue hire. Meeting and conference rooms
are also available for hire. The indoor rock climbing wall is managed by an external contractor.

1. FINANCE PERFORMANCE

The objective of all services within the Community Facilities branch is to balance the demands of
access, equity and community service obligations with sound financial management and to
improve revenue through innovative and entrepreneurial approaches, whilst minimising
operational costs.

It is important to note that COVID-19 had a significant impact on the financial performance of all
of Council’s community facilities in 2019/20, mainly because of the mandated centre closures
and associated loss of revenue from late March through to mid-June. The impacts of this will be
further explored throughout this report.

NLC Interim financial performance as at 30 June 2020
