Subject to approval by council it will inform the more detailed examination of development options to guide the future investment in and development of the sporting reserve. An initial assessment of Alderbury Sports Ground identified the following potential issues and development opportunities associated with the current sports ground infrastructure: - The skate park: A well-used facility which would benefit from the addition of ablutions adjacent and also the provision of additional passive infrastructure for families of younger children who need to be supervised in undertaking the activity. - Seating, play equipment and shade can be improved significantly to enhance and facilitate greater social interaction. - The current YMCC clubhouse/pavilion facility is small and does not provide the level of flexibility necessary to facilitate the growth of sport on the sporting reserve. The clubhouse/pavilion building has limited functional space and lacks the flexibility to be used by multiple community users at any one time. - Other user groups either have no access to infrastructure or limited access to the adjacent changing/ablution facility. This facility is of a substandard and there are issues associated with anti-social activity which needs to be addressed. Ideally the building should be removed and incorporated within one multi-purpose building servicing community and sporting needs. - The scouts and guides building, being a relatively newer addition, which has recently been extended does meet the requirements of its intended purpose and provides flexibility to enable a number of functional uses to be undertaken concurrently. - The playing surfaces are recognised as being of a high quality and provide excellent and unencumbered playing and training capability. It is important to facilitate the continued and extended use of this high quality infrastructure to facilitate the growing needs of sporting groups. - Signage within the site would benefit from a level of continuity at the Sports Ground entry points. - There is extensive car parking across the broader Perry Lakes Reserve and surrounding road network. Effective traffic management would however need to be considered and implemented at high use times. - Whilst there is a reasonable level of tree cover, it could be enhanced to provide greater shade in the southern portion of the site. - Whilst there is floodlighting throughout the site for both sporting activities and social use, it is poor and are in need of replacement. An initial targeted consultation process with sporting club, users and immediate local resident’s identified 21 development options which were to be considered in greater detail. These included: 1. More shade shelters throughout the Reserve 2. A redeveloped facility to service the needs of sporting groups currently using
