Although all This Master Plan draws on the information, analysis and feedback from the Key facility components were assessed recommendations in this report focus on the renewal Findings Report and provides clear direction on the recommended strategies and and development of on-field rather than off-field infrastructure. actions required to improve and develop hockey facilities in Victoria for the next 10 years. The Hockey Victoria Facilities Master Plan investigates the facility related issues and opportunities facing community based hockey in metropolitan and regional Victoria. The strategic direction and recommendations in this report considered the knowledge and resources from a number of selected growth area LGAs, major hockey associations and local clubs and affiliates. Funding for the project has been provided by Hockey Victoria and Sport and Recreation Victoria. 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hockey participation in Victoria remains relatively stable with Through the adoption of this Strategic Facilities Master Plan, Hockey Victoria and their approximately 0.4% of the state’s population actively participating local clubs and associations must continue to work with facility owners, local councils and state government on a rolling renewal and replacement program for hockey pitches in Hockey Victoria sanctioned events and competitions. across Victoria. Hockey Victoria operates from the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville which This Master Plan explores the priorities and needs of hockey clubs and facilities and provides two of only four water based hockey pitches in Victoria and regularly host state, provides a strategic direction for the enhancement and development of hockey facilities. national and international events. Key stakeholder consultation findings, including hockey affiliate and growth area Council Hockey Victoria is separated into ten individual zones (six metropolitan and four regional survey responses, have been analysed to identify participation trends as well as current zones) which service over 170 recognised clubs and associations and approximately and future demand for hockey facilities across Victoria. 21,605 registered players across the state. An analysis of hockey facility supply and demand using facility provision benchmarks In regards to participation, there has been recent growth in the number of masters teams identified a need for additional hockey facilities in the central and eastern metropolitan (as social participation during the week becomes more attractive) and an increase in the zones. With almost 6,000 current registered players and access to only eleven pitches number of junior players in Hookin2hockey and modified hockey programs. This has across these two zones, the development of additional pitches to service the current created increased demand for half pitches that cater for training and junior development. playing market is a high priority for Hockey Victoria and relevant stakeholders.

(not including all school pitches, gravel pitches or new pitches identified). On-site hockey facility audits and condition assessments were undertaken as part of the development of this Master Plan, with each playing surface provided a rating and lifecycle analysis to identify priority areas for renewal and future development. Synthetic hockey pitches dominate the hockey facility network, with approximately 73% of all pitches being synthetic and the remaining 27% natural grass. The majority of synthetic pitches are located in the metropolitan area (96%), with natural grass pitches predominantly found in regional zones (68%). The current suite of hockey pitches in Victoria vary in their level of condition, asset life and maintenance investment. The majority of pitches used in competition throughout Victoria are owned by local councils and are operated by local clubs and associations under direct lease or license arrangements. The ongoing development and standard of hockey pitches and facilities continues to present significant challenges for the sport. The cost of base and surface replacement is cost prohibitive for the majority of affiliates who are relying heavily on funding support from State and Local Government. 6 SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS A range of facility development issues and opportunities were identified through research and consultation undertaken. Following is a summary of key challenges and potential future directions for the development of hockey facilities. These issues and opportunities are supported by evidenced based planning and detailed facility demand assessments. FACILITY CHALLENGES FACILITY NEEDS & OPPORTUNTIES • Hockey facilities require regular ongoing maintenance and replacement.

  • Active After-School Communities Report
    Active After-school Communities program and Hockey Australia MAY 2011 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION The Active After-school Communities (AASC) program has now been running for over six years. During that time the program has liaised with state and national sporting organisations to help local clubs increase their membership base by exposing primary school aged children to their sport. Two years ago the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) started to prepare specific National Sporting Organisation (NSO) Reports to detail each sport’s involvement in the AASC program. These reports combine a statistical analysis as well as a qualitative review of the information, some examples of best practice case studies and any media articles that may have been generated. The intent of these reports is for NSOs to utilise the information at a national, state and regional level to help develop their sport. I would also encourage NSOs to use the report as a basis for the sport development officers and the AASC’s Regional Coordinators to collaborate and plan deliberate strategies for upcoming terms to promote the transition of children, families and new coaches from the AASC program into respective feeder clubs. Some transition strategies that have proved successful for many sports are as follows: Coordinating a ‘Come ‘n Try Gala Day’ at the end of a term. Delivering a clinic at selected sites to promote membership to a designated feeder club or participation in a modified junior sport program. Coordinating a cluster of schools/Outside School Hours Care Services (OSHCS) to attend the local club and organise a registration or promotional day.
