SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                           11 OCTOBER 2022


Covid-19 has improved and users re-integrate themselves back into community sport and the
utilization of facilities. The usage numbers at the creche have declined further again year on
year as some programs where childcare was previously required have seen a shift in how and
when parents now use this service.
Controllable expenses were below budget by $112K mainly due to:
     Employee costs below budget by $107K due to vacancies and stretched workforce
     Materials and services costs below budget by $5K
The snapshot of historical performance below shows that the net operating result for NLC has
remained relatively consistent over recent years but have recovered to pre-covid levels. This is
particularly pleasing given the impacts of Covid-19 over the past two years.

2.    CAPITAL WORKS
Over the past 12 months, the NLC Coordinator has been working progressively on several key
infrastructure projects and future planning for the facility. Key projects have included:
     Roof repairs on the NLC were undertaken and completed to address significant ongoing
      leaks and ingress of water. This included removal and replacement of roof sheets, sarking,
      gutters, and associated items such as flashings and linings.
     An upgrade of LED lights in the car parking areas surrounding Wallace Park Precinct was
      completed. This has provided a safer environment for both staff and patrons alike, with
