Executive Summary

• The proposal was one of 7 projects submitted to the AFL for funding consideration • The AFL ($3.45M), ($2M), the State Government ($5M) and the Australian Fencing Federation ($.25M) have committed to investing into the redevelopment. A total of $10.7M has been committed by these groups to Princes Park • The new facilities in the Princes Park redevelopment include: 25 metre pool, spa, plunge-pool, 300 sqm gymnasium, 200 sqm community fitness area, 100 sqm function room, lecture room, program/office area, ground floor café, consulting rooms, State Fencing Centre and subject to PPP a child care facility • The significant majority of these facilities will be accessible to community groups and local businesses • The vision for community and elite use of the redevelopment is consistent with best practice at UK soccer clubs

The Victorian AFL Club Facilities Funding Program

• Was established in mid 2005 as a result of AFL clubs approaching: the AFL, Councils and State Government in relation to facilities redevelopment in an unplanned and random manner • The Funding Program was aimed at: – Developing a co-ordinate approach to former AFL/VFL venue redevelopment – Ensuring that Clubs were not being “over the top” with their proposed redevelopments – Opening up suburban stadiums for community sports, recreation, culture and leisure activities – Maximising community usage of historically “elite sports venues” Page 75of108 – Creating community legacy from future facility redevelopments – Identifying the capital costs associated with redevelopments and how the costs could be shared between all of the key stakeholders (AFL, State Government, Local Government and Clubs) – Increasing the interaction between AFL clubs and the local community, hence maximising the social benefits that flow from such activities – Avoiding similar “future use” issues to those experienced at Park • The Funding Program was co-ordinated by the AFL • The Princes Park proposal was one of 7 projects submitted for consideration

Overview of Consultation To-Date

Carlton FC / Princes Park Project • Met with Council officers on numerous occasions over the past 3 years with respect to the proposed redevelopment • Met on several occasions with the Lord Mayor and former and current Councillors over the past 3 years • Actively consulted with previous Council regarding the relocation of AFL games from Princes Park and subsequent redevelopment of facilities. Previous Council understood that if games were relocated that the redevelopment of facilities would be supported by Council • Developed the submission and concept plans in consultation with Council officers. These plans were provided to

Council as part of its detailed proposal and Feasibility Study Report in November 2005 Page 77of108 • Consulted with community groups such as Parkville Residents Association, local schools, universities and hospitals • Presented to June 2006 meeting of City of Melbourne Finance Committee • Met with the CEO and Council Officers on several occasions since June 2006

International Best Practice

Background • The proposed redevelopment at Princes Park has drawn upon international best practice examples in order to maximise community benefits • In the UK, for example, an organisation named the Federation of Stadium Communities supports Football Clubs and in excess of 220 community groups in maximising Community Benefit associated with Stadia and elite teams • Participating Clubs include: Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Coventry City, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion Page 78of108 Key Themes for Stadium Communities include: • Partnership working • Community engagement • Social Inclusion/Community Cohesion • Social Capital/Capacity building • Learning/skills/training • Health • Environmental impact

International Best Practice

Target Beneficiaries • ‘Hard to reach’ groups and individuals (in particular young and mid –life males) who are attracted to watch sport but are less likely to attend ‘traditional’ venues for health advice and learning opportunities. Working in collaboration with a range of agencies, including Learning Partnerships, School Sports Partnerships and local Voluntary and Community sector agencies, new as well as successful techniques from other areas will result in changes to attitudes and participation • Local population groups, as identified by focus groups that are excluded from traditional venues or for whom traditional sporting/educational venues do not meet their needs. These are likely to be young women, special needs groups and older people Page 79of108

Key Outcomes • Development of stadiums into centres providing integrated cultural, sporting, health and educational services • Increased participation and uptake of services, in particular from ‘hard to reach’ groups that are attracted by the unique power of sport • Creation of an understanding and responsive environment that can attract sustainable and mutually beneficial income streams • On-going involvement of local people in decision making in relation to community opportunities presented by stadiums, ensuring mutual benefit, building of community capacity and a process for making a lasting difference to the areas social economic and environmental wellbeing

“Significant social benefit is derived from local communities, elite clubs, local authorities and other agencies developing a shared vision for the community use of major sports stadiums”
