Improved facili es on the Moulden site will allow the large range of ac vi es currently u lising the indoor court facility to be split across sites should the Moulden site prove feasible. It is noted that the exis ng YMCA management allows for central management of both facili es loca ons.
Expansion of the space will also enable the cross u lisa on of uses to occur, where the hall and court areas can also func on as community space, in par cular as youth space (the exis ng YMCA already operates a youth
drop-in centre service).
It is noted that as the exis ng Aqua c facility, in par cular the 50m Pool nears its lifespan, an increase in maintenance costs will occur, it is therefore wise for council to consider the planning for new or upgraded facility within the life of this plan for a delivery to occur beyond the life of this plan. While external patronage from outside of Palmerston increases the reliance on the facility, it will also add weight to sourcing assistance and alterna ve funding sources for the future expansion.
