We have shared statements from local sporting groups showing their need for new/increased facilities. By contrast, today we highlight how the addition of a criterium track, which can be used by bikes and runners, can value add to the aquatic development and grow a new tourist market, sporting tourism, which will have spin-offs into the local economy. Creating a training camp facility will enable parts/or all of the facility to be hired out to various groups for meets and events. This will not only help defray the costs of the facility for Council, boost the local economy and enable an 8-lane 50m pool to be built.
Whilst such events will not be held continuously, our proposal ensures that the community always has access to the facilities, by contractually retaining at least 50% of capacity at all times for the use of the local community and clubs. This far exceeds the access currently available at Wonthaggi for our swim club, water exercise classes and learn to swim.
Today we bring you statement from Triathlon Victoria.
“Triathlon Victoria is consistently seeking high- quality and integrated swim, bike, run facilities that allow for
• Training - regular weekly, full day and camp options
• Small scale events – indoor triathlon using pool, spin room and adjacent outdoor or sports hall space
• Club ‘houses’ where Triathlon Victoria can support the establishment of traditional NFP clubs or commercial squads (similar to personal training groups)
The details shared with us on the Phillip Island Aquatic, demonstrate facilities that lend themselves to multisport, and if the centre is established with the connection of swim, bike and run, there would be substantial demand from triathlon users for activities as detailed above.”
