TWEED SHIRE COUNCIL 1

Executive summary1Introduction and purposeThe Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex currently plays host to a range of formal sports - rugby league, football, oztag, cricket, little athletics and hockey. With Council’s draft Sports Fields Strategy identifying the need for additional field space to meet growing demand, opportunity exists to consider future staged development alternatives.

Existing situationThe 11.7ha Complex is made up of three separate spaces - Walter Peate Reserve, Merv Edwards Field and Reg Dalton Oval (with Wommin Bay Road splitting the Complex in to northern and southern halves). Additionally, a leased rugby league facility adjoins the north-western edge of the Complex.

The Complex is generally flat, has some vegetation (mature trees) and the bulk of the site has been significantly developed and embellished.

Existing embellishments include: � Reg Dalton Oval - large fenced oval with turf wicket block and two-net cricket practice

facility. Lit to training standard for large ball sports. Simple clubhouse, changerooms, public toilets and storage

� Merv Edwards Field - full-size grass hockey field lit to physical training purposes � Walter Peate Reserve - 3 rectangular playing fields (with cricket field overlay) and large

athletics facility (with additional playing field overlays). One rectangular playing field is lit to playing standard for large ball sports. Small canteen and amenities building and storage shed

� Predominantly unsealed parking.

Demand for upgradeDemand for upgrades to the Complex has been established through consultation (with Council and user groups) and consideration of existing and future opportunities. Key directions include:

� sport − continued growth in cricket, football, little athletics, oztag and rugby league − cricket, football, little athletics and hockey looking to establish more formalised

‘homes’ � recreation

− limited recreation opportunities for local residents and facility users.

Design directionsThe proposed master plan is located within Section 6.

The vision for the Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex is:

to provide an attractive community sport and recreation hub that includes a range of quality sports facilities, recreation node and network of walk/cycle paths. The Complex will enjoy daily use by locals and also attract regular higher-level competition and carnivals.

Proposed ‘ultimate’ embellishment for the Complex includes: � sporting opportunities

− cricket - turf field lit to playing standards, two additional full-size fields with synthetic wickets and a smaller junior field with synthetic wicket. Three-net lit cricket practice facility

− hockey - two full-size playing fields (one lit to competition standarda) and additional lit field space for training

− football - premier field (lit and fenced) and second full-size field available year-round and range of additional fields (approximately 4.5 fields total in the winter season)

− little athletics - quality 8-lane 400m grass track with suitable field event facilities − rugby league - access to one full-size field lit to training purposes directly to the north

of the Cudgen Leagues Club − oztag - access to at least 4 fields outside the Cudgen Leagues Club

� recreation opportunities − central recreation node at Walter Peate Reserve − recreation node at Reg Dalton Oval/Merv Edwards Field

� common areas − suitable clubhouses with views across premier fields, amenities, changerooms and

storage servicing both the northern and southern sides of the Complex − shaded spectator mounds and portable grandstand seating − path system providing loops − four formal car park areas within the Complex and additional overflow car parking

opportunities − significant planting of additional shade trees in key locations.

Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex Master Plan2

Demographic considerationsThe Complex is a Council-managed sports facility that predominantly provides opportunities for mid-coast residents. However, it is recognised that a number of members of the existing tenant sporting clubs may come from outside this catchment given the quality of the sporting programs offered, the unique nature of the opportunities (e.g. the only oztag and little athletics opportunities in the Council area) or a desire to play with friends. Similarly, the facility hosts teams from throughout the Gold Coast and Northern NSW region each week (through home-and-away fixtures) and from across the State on occasion (e.g. Junior Rugby League State Championships recently hosted).

In order to understand the make-up for the Complex ‘catchment’, a snapshot of existing and future population and demographic characteristics has been undertaken. The mid-coast precinct1 used for assessment in the Sports Fields Strategy has been used for catchment analysis for this master plan.

Analysis of these characteristics reveals: � significant predicted population increases between 2014

and 2031 (an increase of almost 6,000 representing a 50% increase)

� an older community compared with NSW (median age 44 compared to 38)

� slightly higher proportion of households with children under 15 years (27.1% compared with the Tweed Shire Council area at 24.5%)

� somewhat lower proportion of households without a motor vehicle (8.2% compared with 10.8% for NSW).

In terms of impacts for the future development of the Complex, these demographic considerations suggest:

� a range of sport and recreation opportunities that are attractive across the ages should be made available at the Complex

� with an increasing population base, sports clubs offering quality opportunities can expect significant membership increases.

Background

Introduction and purposeIn late 2014, Tweed Shire Council engaged ROSS Planning to develop a master plan for the Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex (the Complex). The Complex is located at the northern end of Kingscliff, one street back from the esplanade, and hosts a range of field-based sports (cricket, hockey, football, oztag, little athletics and rugby league).

The aim of the master plan is to provide a realistic and achievable vision for the Complex, where the needs of the user groups, community and Council are established and balanced. Importantly, the project will require a staged approach to development that provides for smooth implementation limiting impact on users. Ultimately, the report will guide community, Council and user group decision-making and resource allocation.

The Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex has undergone a range of changes in recent years to meet the sporting needs of the community. A number of these upgrades, additions and changes have resulted in ad hoc development around the site without necessarily following a strategic, united plan and vision to meet anticipated future needs.

Through site analysis, background research and consultation, the project aims to provide optimal and innovative use of the Complex for sport and recreation groups and (where appropriate) the wider community.

What is a master plan?A master plan provides a vision for a site, identifying what it should look like and how it should function into the future. It establishes a strong and consistent direction, providing a framework for ongoing improvement. It considers the interrelationship between:

� current character and functionality of the landscape � public expectations and needs � emerging issues and trends � the realities of the economic, social, environmental and legislative context of the time.

The result is a plan that balances needs across a range of often conflicting interests.

The master plan does not suggest that all elements of the plan should proceed immediately, or that Council nor the user groups should be responsible for all capital costs in respect of those items that are progressed. It is important to note that the intent of the master plan is to provide a framework for future development of the Complex over an extended time period so that ad hoc improvements are avoided and community use and long-term viability are maximised. The master plan should be regularly monitored to ensure the outcomes continue to meet community needs in the best possible way.

Project methodologyStage 1 - Preliminaries

� review of relevant reports, plans, policies and other documents � review of the demographic profile of the community (including population growth projections)

Stage 2 - Site assessment � detailed site assessment � discussions with Council officers and existing user groups

Stage 3 - Developing options � analysis of identified issues, ideas, needs and opportunities � preparation of concept options for Council review

Stage 4 - Draft concept master plan � consideration of preferred concept � preparation of draft master plan report � review of draft master plan by Council � presentation and review by user groups

Stage 5 - Review and finalisation � review of feedback on draft master plan report and agreed amendments � Council endorsement.

Site descriptionThe Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex is located at the northern end of the Kingscliff township (as depicted in the context map below).

The 11.7ha Complex is managed by Council with a range of tenant sporting groups using the facility at (and at times above) capacity year-round.

The Complex is currently home to the Cudgen Junior and Senior Cricket Clubs, Kingscliff Hockey Club, Kingscliff Football Club, and Tweed Little Athletics Centre. The Cudgen Junior Rugby League Club and Tweed Coast Oztag also use the northern end of the facility (in addition to the leased facilities adjoining the Complex). A photographic survey of the Complex is included in Appendix A.

Site history � early 1950’s to late 1970’s - nightsoil disposal area in the far north-west corner of Walter Peate Reserve area and extending beyond

McKissock Drive location � 1960 to 1979 - dam located in the north-east corner of Walter Peate Reserve (potentially associated with sand mining operations) � late 1960’s - sand mining in the south-east corner of Walter Peate Reserve area � 1974 - Reg Dalton Oval and Merv Edwards Field construction commences (operational by 1976) � 1975 - Ned Byrne Field construction commences � 1979 - Walter Peate Reserve construction begins (operational by 1983)

Management considerationsThe Complex is managed and maintained by Council, with Council responsible for coordinating all bookings and requests for field allocation.

A tenant user group meets on occasion throughout the year to discuss issues such as potential event and season clashes, avenues for development and future directions.

Previous planningIt is interesting to note that Council records indicate that a number of management plans, concept plans and master plans have been developed for the Complex dating back to 2008. Importantly, none of these plans were ever adopted by both the tenant user groups and Council and ad hoc development has occurred as a result.

Additionally, the potential for sports field development at Depot Road (in the short- to medium-term) and Kings Forest (longer-term) have made previous planning exercises difficult as clubs were never sure whether they would be better off to remain within the existing Complex or to simply ‘mark time’ until they could be relocated to a new facility. Unfortunately, this (somewhat) sit-and-wait approach has stymied development at the Complex.

All of the existing user groups are now committed to developing quality homes at the Complex. Any new facilities made available at Depot Road and/or Kings Forest would be used to accommodate user growth rather than as an alternate venue.

Existing situation3Site elementsSite characteristicsThe site is generally flat. A small mound runs most of the length between Reg Dalton Oval and Merv Edwards Field while a batter leads from Murphys Road down into the Walter Peate Reserve. The site has a quality turf surface and, with a sand profile, appropriate drainage.

Buildings and improvementsThe Complex has a number of relatively small structural features.

� Reg Dalton Oval and Merv Edwards Field − these areas are serviced by a small clubhouse (located on the

mound between the two playing areas and oriented to provide views across each field), public amenities, home and away changerooms and storage facility

� Walter Peate Reserve − a small multi-purpose building with canteen, amenities and

storage is located centrally within the Reserve. A large storage shed and container are located near to the building

− a decommissioned amenities building is located in the south-west corner of the Reserve.

LightingReg Dalton Oval is lit by four light posts with a total of twelve light fittings. User groups report that the lighting on this field meets Australian Standards for club competition large balls sports (e.g. 100 lux).

Merv Edwards Field is lit by six poles with a total of twelve light fittings.

The full-size football field located centrally within Walter Peate Reserve is lit to club competition standard for large ball sports by four poles (and a total of twelve light fittings). Two light poles also provide some lighting near the long/triple jump approaches and partway across the rugby league field located in this area.

Internal road network and parkingGiven the level of embellishment and limited field space, there is no internal road network at Walter Peate Reserve and only a gravel entrance road to Reg Dalton Oval.

An unsealed (and largely unformed) car park is located at the southern end of Reg Dalton Oval amongst the existing mature trees.

Walter Peate Reserve is serviced by a large grass car park in the far south-west corner and a smaller sealed car park at the far north-west corner.

With wide road verges, on-street parking is available around the majority of the streets and roads that form the perimeter to the Complex. Unformed nose-in and parallel parking along Murphys Road is particularly important for football, oztag and little athletics.

Access, linkages and connectivityEntry and accessOther than the gravel road at the southern end of Reg Dalton Oval, there are no formal entry or access points to the Complex.

A 900mm chainwire fence runs along Sand Street, Wommin Bay Road and extends along the end of the hockey field on Shell Street. A 900mm chain wire fence also runs along Wommin Bay Road at the southern end of Walter Peate Reserve. Timber bollards along Murphys Road and McKissock Drive protect the remainder of the reserve from vehicles.

It is important to note that outside formal training and competition times, the Complex remains open to the public for recreation purposes.

Linkages and connectivityA pedestrian walk/cycle path is located on the northern side of Wommin Bay Road. This path continues through to Marine Parade and joins the network of paths that run along the foreshore.

An additional path runs along the western side of Kingscliff Street and links through in to town.

ShadeThe Complex has stands of mature trees surrounding much of Reg Dalton Oval and Merv Edwards Field, along Shell Street and along the batter on the western side of Murphys Road.

SignageThere is currently limited signage within the Complex. On the south-east corner of the Wommin Bay Road and Sand Street intersection, the Kingscliff Football Club has erected advertising signage.

While the site is generally level with clear sightlines, it may be advantageous (for new players and visiting teams) to develop signage that identifies the various sporting fields within the Complex.

Facility snapshotCricket-specific facilitiesReg Dalton Oval is considered one of the premier turf cricket venues on the northern NSW coast. It has a well-regarded turf wicket block, manicured outfield and quality drainage.

Two senior-size fields with synthetic wickets are located at Walter Peate Reserve. With the northern field overlaid on the little athletics facility, it is not available for cricket on Saturday mornings when little athletics conducts its weekly centre competition.

Cricket is played throughout the summer sporting season.

Football-specific facilitiesSenior football is based around the football clubhouse and premier lit field at Reg Dalton Oval. The field is overlaid across the cricket field (and turf wicket block) and a small-sided field is located at the northern end of Merv Edwards Field.

A second full-size lit field is located within the central area of Walter Peate Reserve with a number of small-sided fields spaced around the northern end of the Reserve.

The primary season for football is the winter sporting season. However, a summer 6-a-side competition is hosted by the club1 from the end of the winter season through until just prior to Christmas and club sign-on and pre-season training commences late in January.

1 In recent seasons this has been conducted at Casuarina due to lack of suitable field space within the Complex

Little athletics-specific facilitiesThe little athletics facilities are clustered at the northern end of Walter Peate Reserve. Facilities include an 8-lane 400m grass track, two concrete shot put circles, two discus circles with cages, two areas for javelin, two double-ended long/triple jump facilities with synthetic approaches. The multi-purpose building, shed and container are all important facilities for the Centre.

The little athletics season runs throughout the traditional summer sporting season. However, the facility is also used for up to fifteen school carnivals between June and September each year.

Hockey-specific facilitiesThe main hockey field is the full-size field on Merv Edwards Field. However, two additional full-size fields are also used for training and matches at the southern end of Walter Peate Reserve. Hockey is played throughout the winter sporting season.

Rugby league-specific facilitiesWhile the sport of rugby league is based at Ned Byrne Field (a leased facility that adjoins Walter Peate Reserve), this one-field site is not large enough to meet the training and match needs of all of the teams. As a result, a second field is located directly to the north of Ned Byrne Field overlaid across the discus landing areas. Further, at least one of the junior teams has trained on the Walter Peate Reserve hockey fields in recent seasons.

Rugby league is played throughout the winter sporting season.

Oztag-specific facilitiesSenior oztag is played on Ned Byrne Field and the additional rugby league field to the north. Junior oztag also uses these fields, but due to large playing numbers use an additional four fields marked across the two hockey fields at the southern end of Walter Peate Reserve.

Juniors play a summer competition between October and December, while seniors play 10-12 week competitions in summer, autumn and winter.

Summer season � 10 week 6-a-side competition played at Casuarina. With limited lighting, six

fields are used until dusk and then dropped back to three fields.

Key issues � Impact of turf wicket on Reg Dalton Oval. First 4-5 weeks of senior season

must play away games as cricket is still being played � Split venues (need for dual canteen, dual toilets, 6-a-side played at

Casuarina) � Increasing membership (and prediction of continued growth in the sport).

Development initiatives � Game expansion - particular focus on opportunities for females including:

− licence for female competition to be played on Sundays − 7-a-side social competition on Wednesday evenings − 6-a-side social competition (8-week program) on Monday evenings

� Gain promotion to Premier League � Conduct the 6-a-side competition at the Complex (1 night each week) � Increase opportunities for summer season football (e.g. junior development

trials two times each week for 4 weeks and senior pre-season training) � Ability to host Gold Coast Football finals, exhibition matches and carnivals � Develop one venue with:

− winter access to at least 3.5 fields and year-round access to at least 2 lit fields.

− suitable club facility, changerooms, storage and canteen − appropriate parking opportunities.

Kingscliff Hockey ClubCompetitions

� Winter season - Tweed Border Hockey Association

Membership � Steady since 2001 (4 minkey mod teams, 6 junior and 7 senior teams)

Usage � Training

− Juniors - Wednesday (Merv Edward) and Thursday (Walter Peate) − Seniors - Monday to Thursday afternoon and evenings (Merv Edward)

� Matches − Minkey mods are conducted on rotation amongst clubs. Hosted by the

Club once every 5 weeks. Requires two full-size equivalent pitches − Juniors play matches in Murwillumbah (Saturday AM). Kingscliff fields

used as wet weather alternative. Juniors would host matches on a Monday or Friday evening if a lit field was available

− Seniors play up to seven times at home (Saturday PM). Three games are hosted each time. Also used as a wet weather alternative venue

Key issues � Difficulties with training and matches split across Wommin Bay Road � Little sense of ‘home’ without ready access to a clubhouse facility.

Development initiatives � With the Tweed Border Hockey Association gaining access to a Regional

Coaching Director, the club is expecting to see membership growth � If football can be relocated, would hope to establish a shared home with

cricket � Ideally, have access to one lit full-size field at Merv Edward, a second full-

size field on Reg Dalton on the western side of the turf wicket block and additional areas for training (off the turf wicket block)

� Access to suitable amenities, storage areas and changerooms.

Demand for development at the Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex has been established through consultation (with Council and user groups), combined with an analysis of existing opportunities and expected future sport directions.

Consultation summaryCouncilFor a number of years, Council officers have tried to juggle sporting clubs’ field and facility requests to best meet each user groups’ needs. Balancing already stretched resources, growing clubs and ever-lenghtening seasons often results in compromise (overcrowding and heavily used fields).

Opportunities to avoid unnecessary foot traffic on the turf wicket block, spreading the wear associated with football training and matches and looking to consolidate individual sports to one side of Wommin Bay Road (where possible) should be explored.

Sporting clubs report that the intersection of Sand Street and Wommin Bay Road becomes congested during peal training and competition times.


Tweed Little AthleticsCompetitions

� Juniors - summer season (local and Gold Coast competitions)

Membership � Steady growth in recent years - looking like approximately 280

members in the 2014/15 season

UsageSummer season

� Saturday morning centre competitions � Wednesday and Thursday afternoon training sessions

Winter � In 2014, the facility hosted fifteen school carnivals between June

and September

Key issues � Difficulty sharing field space with rugby league. Rugby league

pre-season training is now starting well before the end of the little athletics season

� Additional issues with year-round athletics coaching squads accessing discus cages and long/triple jump facilities

Development initiatives � Proposal to develop a clubhouse and amenities on the northern

side of Wommin Bay Road would allow little athletics to reconfigure the existing building

� The Centre is happy to realign its track and field event spaces to accommodate best-use of the area as long as a full 8 lane 400m track and necessary field event areas can be retained.

Tweed Coast OzTagCompetitions

� Juniors - 10- 12 week summer season up to the end of Term 4 � Seniors - 14 week summer, autumn and winter competitions

Membership � Juniors - experiencing rapid growth - increased from 200 to almost

500 between 2013 and 2014 � Seniors - steady growth - up to 150 in 2014

Usage � All matches are currently played on Mondays. Juniors play in the

afternoon followed by seniors who play under lights � Juniors - 7 fields (two at Leagues Club, field directly north of

Leagues Club and four fields on Walter Peate Reserve � Seniors - 3 fields (two at Leagues Club and field directly north of

Leagues Club)

Key issues � Coping with expected expansion again in 2015. Requires additional

lit fields and/or split across two evenings (Monday and Wednesday)

Development initiatives � Game expansion - school clinics are proving particularly successful

as promotional avenue � Would benefit from additional lit field space (particularly upgrading

the lighting to the field directly to the north of the Leagues Club) � Prepared to consider move to south of Wommin Bay Road as long

as no nett loss of fields (and potential for additional lit fields).

Cudgen Junior Rugby LeagueCompetitions

� Winter season - home-and-away basis

Membership � Steady growth in recent years (13 teams, approx. 200 members)

− looking to field an additional side (U16) in the 2015 season

Usage � Training - With only two full-size fields available, training can no

longer be accommodated on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons/evenings alone. A number of teams have been moved to Fridays

� Matches - until lunch time on Saturdays both the Leagues Club field and field directly to the north are used for junior fixtures. After lunch, only the Leagues Club Field is required

� Carnivals - the club hosts one or two large carnivals each year. At least two fields are required for these events

Key issues � Field space is at a premier for training. In the 2014 season, the

U12 team used the Walter Peate hockey fields on Tuesdays � Private athletics squad training causes difficulty for rugby league

training on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with discus and hurdles training regularly encroaching. Also, timber marker pegs for hurdles are often placed on the field

� During school athletics carnivals, tents are located on the northern field causing significant damage

� With junior football fixtures hosted every Saturday, the Leagues Club loses significant trade with players using the football canteen rather than the Leagues Club canteen

� Lack of amenities and changerooms ‘outside’ the Leagues Club � If the ‘home’ of football is transferred to Walter Peate, this will

become a heavily overused area through the winter playing season.

Cudgen Senior Rugby LeagueCompetitions

� Winter season - home-and-away basis. Transferring to the northern NSW competition for 2015

Membership � Steady (4 teams in 2014, reducing to 3 teams in 2015)

Usage � Training - Leagues Club field on Tuesday and Thursday evenings � Matches - played on Sunday afternoons on the Leagues Club field

Key issues � Field space is at a premium for training

Cudgen Leagues ClubKey issues

� important that the training and competition needs of senior and junior rugby league and oztag are met

� opportunities to consider constructing an amenities building with dual access between Walter Peate Reserve and the Leagues Club.

Catchment considerationsSportCouncil’s draft Sports Field Strategy has identified a lack of playing fields across the region to meet both current and expected future demands. While the mid-coast precinct has suitable supply through until 2031, there is potential for the Complex to be pressured by unmet demand from the north-coast precinct where a deficit of more than 60ha is predicted in this timeframe.

Specifically, the Strategy notes that the two sports expected to be in most need for additional field space are football and cricket - two of the sports currently being accommodated at the Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex.

RecreationThere are currently limited recreation opportunities within the Complex. A simple swing set is located in the far south-east corner. The only walk/cycle paths near the facility run along the northern side of Wommin Bay Road and western side of Kingscliff Street.

Additionally, the recreation elements provided within Kingscliff are predominantly located along the foreshore parklands.

Demand summary � opportunities to develop quality ‘homes’ for the tenant user groups

(cricket, hockey, football, rugby league, oztag and little athletics) � opportunities exist for enhanced informal physical activity

(including quality walking, cycling and play opportunities) � need to formalise entry roads and car parking � opportunity to provide additional areas of natural and artificial

shade.


Design considerations5Opportunities and constraintsKey opportunities and constraints for the Complex are summarised below and provide much of the direction for the designs. Additionally, a landscape analysis and ideas ‘sketch’ can be found at Appendices B and C.

� Reconfigure the building to meet the needs of little athletics

� Extend the building to include two changerooms with additional amenities

Issue Opportunities/Constraints Desired Outcomes/Design Drivers

Open space

Community-level � As the only multi-field community complex in the

town, opportunity exists to ensure this facility remains a premier sporting venue in the Shire

� Ensure the Complex continues to enjoy significant community use and is developed to such a level that sporting carnivals and events can also be attracted

Sports facilities

� Site is heavily used by a range of sports throughout the year

� Site is highly constrained given its (somewhat) lineal nature

� Opportunities to limit sports having to split functions either side of Wommin Bay Road

� Damage to Reg Dalton Oval (and turf wicket block) given intensity of football operations

� Limited spectator facilities at Walter Peate Reserve with current field alignments

� Develop a home for football at Walter Peate Reserve (ensure suitable access to year-round fields)

� Realign the athletics track and field facilities to enhance spectator opportunities and provide a more functional multi-use space

� Widen the western side of Reg Dalton Oval to allow a full-size hockey field and (potential) oztag field to be accommodated

� Move the hockey field at Merv Edwards Field to the southern end of the site. This will provide more central viewing opportunities from the clubhouse and allow the development of a junior cricket field at the northern end of Merv Edwards

� Retain access to a rugby league field within Walter Peate Reserve directly to the north of the Cudgen Leagues Club

� Explore opportunities to provide at least four oztag fields (preferably with the majority lit) across the Complex

Recreation spaces

� Limited recreation opportunities in the surrounding residential area

� Currently limited recreation facilities within the Complex

� Develop two recreation nodes within the Complex � Facilities to potentially include play equipment, half court,

park furniture and substantial landscaping

Safety

Safety

� Need for field-of-play fencing on main fields � Ensure consistent theme of perimeter fencing � Develop suitable field-of-play fencing around the premier

football field, along the bottom of the batter facing the athletics facilities, along the redeveloped western edge of Reg Dalton Oval and along the eastern edge of the hockey field on Merv Edwards Field

� Ensure suitable lighting is included within car park developments



Master Plan6The master plan has been developed by considering all consultation, appropriate strategic contexts and previous research. Further, a number of concept options were considered and reviewed before a preferred ‘melded’ option was agreed to by the project steering committee as the basis for the master plan development. Overall, it provides an ideal opportunity to significantly enhance the capacity of the facility to meet the needs of the sporting community and also the recreation needs of nearby residents and visitors.

The master plan sits well within the existing open space network - providing for local residents and complementing the existing facilities.

The master plan integrates a number of the existing site features with a range of new elements and embellishments. The provision of quality recreation facilities and a more attractive environment will encourage use from the non-sporting community and with the range of facilities and programs available, all age groups will find activities to enjoy.

The Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex Master Plan can be found on the following pages. The master plan includes:

� master plan layout (summer and winter layout alternatives)

� indicative character images � indicative materials palette.

VisionThe vision for the Kingscliff Sport and Recreation Complex is:

Staged implementation and indicative costingThe cost of the development of the master plan is beyond the Council’s and the community’s ability to fund in the short-term. Thus, this section provides staged budgeting. The information provided is designed as a flexible guide—changes in user group priorities or earlier opportunities for funding may alter staging. The adjoining table summarises indicative costs (prepared by a Quantity Surveyor) for the stages of development. These costs do not include legal fees or goods and service tax.
