New contract for Casey leisure spots
■ The City of Casey will be streamlining the management and operations of its eight leisure facilities. The decision follows a review of Council’s leisure facilities which include Casey RACE, Casey ARC, Doveton Pool in the Park, Casey Stadium, Berwick Stadium, Endeavour Hills Stadium, Olive Road Sporting Complex and The Shed Skatepark. These sites are currently managed by three separate partners, across four separate contacts or service agreements, leading to operational inefficiencies. City of Casey Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Patterson said as part of the review, various management models were assessed, however it was determined that a single aligned contract, with the option to separately manage Olive Road Sporting Complex and The Shed, would deliver highest benefit. “Thousands of people visit Council’s leisure facilities every day and increasingly, our venues are also being chosen to host national and international events. Having a number of different management contracts, with a number of different providers, is not efficient for Council and means the experience for users of those facilities is not always consistent,” Mr Patterson said. The Council has met with key industry organisations and the current management of the facilities to discuss this review. The new contract will be created next year and a request for tender will go out to the market in 2023, with the contract to commence on July 1, 2024.
SWEET-TOOTHED ARMED ROBBER Rye Pier upgrade
● Chris Brayne, Nepean MLA. ■ Works to improve safety and accessibility at one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most popular landmarks will be completed in time for summer. The $2.1 million upgrade of Rye Pier has delivered a safer and more accessible approach after a busy six months of works. The new 309-metre deck is now 4.2 metres wide and built from Australian hardwood timber, chosen to preserve the historical importance of the pier. Chris Brayne, Nepean MLA, said: “I am delighted this project will be able to be enjoyed over the busy summer months, with the improvements providing a better experience for all for many years to come.” “Piers and jetties are a popular feature of the Mornington Peninsula, for local enjoyment ,” Mr Brayne said.
