5.       FUTURE DIRECTION
       Replacement of the remaining lights throughout the centre with energy efficient LED’s.
       Implementation of NLC service review recommendations, including:
         -    Explore the viability of junior learn to play programs and school holiday programs in
              an effort to provide a greater range of programs on offer to the community.
         -    The condensing of weekly rostered hours, leading to an annual saving of
              approximately $15,000. This is scheduled to take effect from July 2017.
         -    Improved asset management practices, leading to an overall increase in the standard
              of the facility.
         -    Continued improvement of the centre’s aesthetics, bringing its appearance back in
              line with customer expectations and competitors’ offerings.
         -    Development of a long-term plan to combat current car park and pathway issues.
       NLC has been working hard to develop a new website and to formalise its social media
         presence. Both these projects form part of a suite of strategic marketing initiatives that are
         currently under development and will soon be launched to help drive continued revenue
         and customer growth.
