The Club Funded Upgrade application process provides direction for local organisations and lessees seeking to upgrade a venue that they hire or lease from the City, where the City has no funding involvement for the proposed works.
This application process is designed to ensure that there is an identified need for the project and that all required approvals and licences are granted before the upgrade commences. This prevents the potential for any expensive remedial work required at the completion of the project by the organisation or lessee.
Projects that are of a structural nature (for example verandahs, building extensions, new buildings and floodlighting) will be managed and constructed/installed by the City in line with standard specifications and asset hierarchy. Prior to construction commencing the organisation will be required to sign a funding agreement that details the organisation will pay the City for the works and outline the payment term.
Examples of successful past projects include:
For further information contact the Leisure Planning team on 9400 4090 (for hired facilities) or the Property Management team on 9400 4362 (for leased facilities).
