Sporting Facilities Insights Survey.
Help Shape Our Future!
Just for a bit of background for you all. The club has been in consultation with council for a larger facility for the last 5+ years with no real sign of change occurring. We had our hopes high about 3 years ago when the council engaged a company to do concept designs and costings, but then that fell down due to the cost.
The club has grown in the last 10 years quicker than we could have imagined. As you well know we have had to stop enrollments at certain levels due to the numbers, and for the second time over the last 10 years we have a waiting list to join. In 2016 our first full year of operation we had on average of 65 gymnasts attending, to now in 2026 having 145 gymnasts attending. We have more than doubled our operations and engagement. When we started there was just 1 coach and now we have 2 full time coaches, 3 part time coaches and 4 junior coaches.
The club is a not-for-profit organisation, and therefore where we can money is constantly put back into the club. There is no huge pot of money stashed and no rich beneficiaries to rely on. Our aim has always been to keep the fees low so it is somewhat affordable for children to learn those fundamental movement skills that help so much with everything else from home, to school and other sports, as well as having fun.
Our heads are not in the sand, we see the growth, we see the deficits, we see the potential, we see the future. In order to keep moving and be able to offer this opportunity to others, we need to have changes to the facility. We were feeling disheartened that others did not see our vision, and our growth is being curbed. We have the potential to have the fastest growing gymnastics club regionally.
So today we are here….
The committee decided to engage a company “Club Builders – The Professionals” to assist us in making our dream become a reality.
They assist clubs to grow through grants, state & federal government funding, to repair or build a future. This is a 12-month journey we are entering. I’m sure the next 12 months is going to be filled with excitement, disappointments and hopefully a future for the club for years to come.
The start of this journey is to find out what is important to our consumers, not just the children who come to learn and the Coaches. It’s also about the parents, the grandparents, aunts, uncles and even family friends who come to watch their families grow and develop into amazing well-rounded members of society.
The survey running at the moment is just that a chance for you as the extended community to have your say about what is important.
The committee has our ideas of where things need to change but we need you to have your say.
Some of the areas the committee have identified that need work are:
· Gym space – more space for children to learn and move without fear of hitting someone else
· Improved toilet facilities and more of them including change rooms.
· Disabled toilet facilities
· Improved viewing areas for spectators
· A café - a place to be able to engage with others
· Improved equipment opportunities for children to develop skills
· Safer car parking
· Heating and cooling
· More storage
· More coaches
· More programs like
o Mummy and me classes
o Over 50’s
o Adult gym
o Tumbling
o Rehabilitation
o Special needs classes
I’m sure there are so many more ideas out there. This is where we have this fantastic opportunity to hear from you.
We are hoping that the future will take us to a new purpose-built gymnastics facility, where we have state of the art equipment and the opportunity to be able to hold state competitions and bring large numbers to the region.
It would be really appreciated if you haven’t already done so, please take the 15 mins to complete the survey being conducted by the Club Builders and be honest about what you think our direction / priorities should be. Share the survey with friends and family and encourage them to have their say. This is about the future and how we as a community can ensure Gymnastics is part of the future for this community.
As stated previously we will not see the results of the survey. The committee will get a report of where we are, what the community wants to see as the priorities, and a plan to make that happen.
Once we receive this, we will share this with everyone.
The next 12 months will be a journey for each and every one of us, and I want to share this journey with you.
