1. Introduction

Fraser Coast Regional Council (FCRC) engaged Cardno, Facility Design Group (FDG) and Xypher Sport and Leisure (Xypher) to undertake consultation with key stakeholders and prepare a master plan for the Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre (HBAC). 1.1. Project Background and Overview

The project builds on a review of its aquatic centres in 2017. The ‘Aquatic Facilities Operational Review’ provides a long term strategy for FCRC’s aquatic facilities and includes specific recommendations for HBAC. The current project seeks to advance this work by undertaking more targeted consultation in relation to HBAC and developing a master plan to guide the future development of the facility. The consultation component of this engagement includes two phases:

• Phase One o Stakeholder workshops o Community workshops o Community and user group survey o Meetings with operational staff and internal stakeholders

• Phase Two o Stakeholder sketch design review workshop o Meetings with Project Leadership Team and key internal stakeholders

1.1.1. Purpose of this Report Xypher’s specific role was to undertake stakeholder engagement with specific external and internal stakeholders and the broader community to ascertain the needs and wants to assist in the development of a viable master plan for the facility. This report details the results of this engagement to inform the master planning process.

1.2. Area Profile

The project is focused on the township of Hervey Bay located in the Local Government Area (LGA) of FCRC. The Fraser Coast Regional LGA is located in the Wide Bay Burnett Region of south-east Queensland, about 250 kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD. The FCRC area is bounded by the Coral Sea in the north and east, the Gympie Regional Council area in the south, and the North Burnett Regional Council area and the Bundaberg Regional Council area in the west.

Figure 1- Location of Fraser Coast LGA

The Fraser Coast Regional Council area encompasses rural areas and growing rural-residential and residential areas, with some commercial and industrial land uses. The main urban centres are Hervey Bay and Maryborough, with numerous smaller townships and villages. The Fraser Coast Regional Council area encompasses a total land area of about 7,100 square kilometres, including national parks and state forests. Rural land is used largely for cattle grazing, sugar cane growing and timber production. Tourism is also an important industry. The Hervey Bay area is the administrative, retail and service centre for the LGA with Maryborough town centre being an important secondary retail node in the LGA. The LGA is well serviced in terms of education and training, children, cultural and community, health, aged care, recreation and sports.

1.3. Demographic Review

The following demographic review has been developed using data and analysis from a Hervey Bay Community Profile Report created and downloaded in October 2019 from the Fraser Coast Regional Council profile.id website. The official population of FCRC as of the 30th June 2018 was 105,463. 1.3.1. Hervey Bay Profile As illustrated by the chart below, Hervey Bay experienced consistent growth of more than 500 people per year from 2013 to 2018, peaking at over 800 people in 2018. As of June 2018, the area has a population of 49,008. Figure 2 - Annual Change in Estimated Resident Population

The following figure provides the age profile for Hervey Bay by ‘service age groups’. Figure 3 - Age Structure - Service Age Groups

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 4 -

Dominant groups Analysis of the service age groups of Hervey Bay in 2016 compared to FCRC area shows that there was a similar proportion of people in the younger age groups (0 to 17 years) and a higher proportion of people in the older age groups (60+ years). Overall, 20.0% of the population was aged between 0 and 17, and 36.5% were aged 60 years and over, compared with 20.4% and 34.2% respectively for Fraser Coast Regional Council area. The major differences between the age structure of Hervey Bay and FCRC area were:

• A larger percentage of 'Seniors' (17.2% compared to 14.9%) • A smaller percentage of 'Older workers & pre-retirees' (12.9% compared to 14.1%) • A smaller percentage of 'Parents and homebuilders' (15.9% compared to 16.7%)

Emerging groups From 2011 to 2016, Hervey Bay's population increased by 2,848 people (6.5%). This represents an average annual population change of 1.27% per year over the period. The largest changes in the age structure in this area between 2011 and 2016 were in the following age groups:

• Seniors (70 to 84) (+1,720 people) • Empty nesters and retirees (60 to 69) (+1,029 people) • Older workers and pre-retirees (50 to 59) (+528 people) • Babies and pre-schoolers (0 to 4) (-413 people)

Population Highlights The following figure provides an overview of Hervey Bay’s demographic factors compared to the Fraser Coast Regional LGA, regional Queensland and Queensland averages.

1.5. Consultation and Engagement Overview

The consultation process for the project includes: • Conducting key stakeholder meetings on 4 June 2019 including:

o FCRC staff o Swimming clubs o Other key user groups o General community meeting

• Online survey (made available on FCRC website) o Conducted between 30 May and 16 June, 2019

• The master plan is intended to be placed on public exhibition to allow public comment and this is scheduled for early 2020.

To promote and facilitate the community engagement process, Council communicated with the community through several mediums including:

• Website 1. The Aquatic Centre ‘Have Your Say’ page was viewed 107 times between 9 October

and 14 November 2019. • Media Release

1. Issued 16 October 2019 • Facebook organic - there were 2 organic posts on the FCRC Facebook page.

1. Promoting meetings § Reached 10,386 people § 1929 engagements (likes, comments and shares)

2. Promoting survey § Reached 2270 people § 141 engagements (likes, comments and shares)

The approach taken to community engagement about the master plan may be described as “mixed methods research”. In other words, a range of quantitative and qualitative methods have and will be used to engage the community. Together, the information collected using all methods presents a useful body of research to assist in determining the community’s attitudes to the provision of future aquatic facilities.

Given the nature of the survey, it cannot be considered directly representative of the general population. However, it can be utilised as a quantitative measure as part of the consultation process. To provide some perspective on the general relatability of the survey, a comparison of the Hervey Bay age profile and the age profile of survey respondence is shown below. Figure 13 - Age Profile Comparison

This shows an over representation of 25 to 59 age groups and under representation of all other age groups. 2.2. Current Pool Use

The first section of the survey asked respondents about their current use of aquatic facilities. The figures below detail relevant responses. Figure 14 - Pools Used in 12 Months (n=398)

This shows that 88% of respondents had used the HBAC in the previous 12 months.

The main reason for choosing their particular pool of choice was ‘close to home’ (38%) with the other main reasons being ‘recreation/leisure/fun’ (31%) and ‘indoor heated pools’ (28%). 2.3. Facility and Service Improvements

The second section of the survey asked respondents to outline improvements or additions they would like to see to the HBAC. The following figure shows facilities and services nominated by respondents which were viewed as barriers to use of the facility. Figure 18 - Barriers to HBAC Use (n=308)

‘Toilets and amenities’ (28%) and ‘Cost’ (27%) were identified as the main barrier to use of HBAC. A large number (26%) noted no apparent barrier to use. Of the ‘Other’ category, most identified ‘waterplay/facilities for children and water temperature as the key issues. Respondents were asked to rate selected ‘ideas’ for new and improved facilities from 1 - ‘highly undesirable through to 6 - ‘highly desirable’. The results (weighted average) are shown in the figure below.

3. Consultation Sessions

This section summarises feedback received during meetings with internal stakeholders, user groups and community representatives. At each meeting a project background was provided by FCRC staff and an overview of the consultation was outlined by the project team. After each session FCRC staff outlined the intended process for developing the master plan and delivering the project. Including:

• Preparation of preliminary master plan options by early June which will be reviewed with key stakeholders and Councillors

• A draft master plan inclusive of cost estimate will then be developed and reported to Council to be placed on public exhibition

• Following the exhibition period, a report will be put to Council to report on feedback received and to adopt a final master plan

Seven key stakeholder sessions were held on 22 and 23 October 2019. These are listed below along with summary notes from each meeting. The PowerPoint presentation which includes the agenda and other information used for these sessions is shown in Appendix B.

Consultation Schedule The following sessions were held to consult with key stakeholders and community groups.

Other Notes At the end of each session, the project architect, outlined potential design solutions/options for discussion. This outline evolved through the sessions and is reflected in the outline in Section 4. The core elements of the indicative design solution were generally accepted by those in attendance. 3.1. Internal Workshop 1 - HBAC Operational and Management Staff

Current Issues • Uninviting entry. Dark, dirty, poor functionality • Limited kiosk space

o Merchandise sales restricted by disconnect to kiosk o Merchandise location unsupervised o Need touch and feel merchandise for enhanced sales

• Training space needed • Indoor pools need enclosing

o Weather related closure (thunderstorms - approx. 10-14 days per year)

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 16 -

o Winter months breeze reduces attendance o Summer breeze is a positive as it gets steamy. All blinds are up o Decrease in temperature decreases attendance - no climate control o Seating is inadequate for sitting and gear storage o Current door access is difficult to manage for carers, wheelchairs and prams

• Distance from entry to facilities is a deterrent o Distance to adequate change rooms is a deterrent to attendance o Rehab and mobility access issues - pools, doorways, paths, ramps

• Schools currently cluster in term 4 or term 1 due to perceived cold of other terms • Rehabilitation use drops in winter months. • WWP and lesson pool as independent entities would be ideal

o Change space has no plumbing but gets used as a toilet as toilets are inadequate o Program pool is unattractive o WWP 1.1m to 1.5m needs full compliance, ramp, handrails etc.

• Lesson pool 0.8m to 1.1m, o Needs a ledge, length for laps o Ability to divide into 6 sections o Stair access o Adjacent seating for parents and wide concourse o Kids waiting for siblings lessons have nothing to entertain them. Dry playground? o Siblings can’t use the program pool as is fully used

• Amenity and change space in top section is grossly inadequate • Inadequate amenities across facility especially 25m area • Need to replicate 50m amenity at a minimum. • Good support for change village • Centre Coordinator is isolated from the staff and main activity area. Needs an office adjacent to

the 25m pool • Clubs other than Masters need storage

o Masters currently have a shed o HBTC and HBSC are the two other resident clubs. o Tribe is another community club that has no home. o A range of groups use the pool and bring and take away equipment each visit E.g.

physiotherapists, All abilities groups • Across the facility a range of storage locations are required to reduce lost time moving

equipment from point to point. Significant items include water polo goals, cleaning items, chemicals. HBTC is the only club that uses the SW corner shed regularly

Positive Features • Keep the outlook and feel of park land. Do not close things in with buildings and structures • Hill area for carnivals/events is highly valued • Lagoon pool used by schools and caters for range of age groups

Opportunities and Constraints • Convert current program pool to WWP. Would need improved filtration, depth change. Not

economical. Use 25m as LTS pool so heat more. Heat the 50m all year to 24-26C. • Lagoon pool needs separate filtration

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 17 -

o Improve 50m heating capacity o Reduces impact of contamination

• Entry of Boundary Street? - accessible parking? • Maryborough pool is a good example for future facility

Future Facilities • A deck between the 25m pool and lagoon pool • Slides need to be replaced and/or other interactive features • Need to provide leisure options for a range of ages • Dry playground • Commercial gym

o Generate income and potential to operate independently o Group fitness room(s) to service dry programming. Multipurpose room identified o Running track for fitness, warmups and small events

• BBQs are not adequate for weekend demand. Enhance this service plus seating and shade • Undercover area enhanced for café. Currently not weather resistant • Additional shade • Demand exists for social networking, semi service • Extra first aid room or relocated to a central location • Need space for squad meeting area - which could also be multi-purpose

Priorities • Learn to swim/warm water program pool • Entry/change • Enclosing the 25m pool and 25m pool amenities • Gym/fitness

3.2. Stakeholder Workshop 1 - Schools and Education

Current issues • Very busy in term 4. • Kiosk inadequate for carnivals (schools and clubs) • 50m amenities inadequate for carnivals E.g. 500 girls, 5 toilets • All abilities access restrictive. Amenities don’t comply with volume or accessibility • Lack of toilets for carnivals

o Amenities inadequacy strongly emphasised

Positive Features • Range of use includes carnivals, learn to swim programs, lane hire, end of year or reward

events, water related sports and recreation programs • Current access is great. • Primary Schools use the 25m. • Lagoon pool is positive feature

Opportunities and Constraints • Timetable/availability is the biggest barrier to use • Future Gym would be used by years 7-10. Would increase school visitation

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 18 -

• Gym would be positive inclusion • General school based special education programs are funded to enable visits. Good life skill

learning opportunity. Underutilised currently partly due to amenities and part due to accessibility of warm water pool

• Better food and beverage o Coffee for drive through sales?

Future Facilities • A zero depth area where parents don’t have to ‘helicopter supervise’ children would enhance

the experience. o Access to adjacent coffee and a relaxing environment would also be positive

• Program pool much larger for schools lessons • Properly enclosed 25m pool • Allied health treatment rooms • Merchandise with in-house branding • Dry program/teaching spaces

Priorities • Amenities • Enclose the 25m pool • Larger learn to swim/program pool

3.3. Stakeholder Workshop 2 - Swimming and Triathlon Clubs

Current issues • 25m needs enclosing. Too cold for parents, coaches, swimmers for winter

o Fixed walls and windows; patrons currently want it open in summer o Make it draft proof o 25m too busy for Winter. Not enough lanes to service demand o 1 shower, 1 toilet need replacing. Inadequate number and poor standard o Amenities are poor

• Family change village desirable • Program pool

o Need alternative entertainment for non-swimming siblings E.g. dry playground o Indoor water play low priority due to climate

• Not enough change facilities for events • Group change rooms for schools desirable

o Change village • Winter lane access is not sufficient

Positive Features • Heating of 50m pool has improved temperature • Summer lane access is adequate • Hill area is well used and functional

Opportunities and Constraints • Improve heating for 50m pool to retain outdoor club/lap activity for longer and reduce

period of lane shortage (Winter)

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 19 -

• External access for café and gym • Site expansion to the South

o Potential connection for tri-clubs

Future Facilities • Heat 50m through winter with electricity • 50m sun protection desirable (both ends).

o Protect in Summer, expose in Winter for heat control § Variable preference depending on individuals

o Carnival marshalling sun protection highly desired o Deep end marshalling needs shade and level ground E.g. lower the mound

• 50m spectator hill, change to grandstand. o Evolved to tiered seating - target 100 seats o Shade structure required o Would be used for bags during squad if weatherproof

• Water polo goals and lane dividers need retro fit anchors • Purpose built water polo pool

o LED screen for displaying event results o LED screen for advertising and entertainment, dive in movie potential

• Outdoor free access gym o Body weight functional training that is low injury risk

• Gym preference evolved to commercial, membership based facilities o Shared multi-purpose room for club, training, education , exercise

§ Yoga, wind trainer, space with roof, no walls • Redevelop entry, current bottleneck

o Modify traffic flows o Coffee shop to service increased demand o External access

• Club facilities o Club rooms for each club

§ 3 offices, one per club § Storage § Kitchen § Change rooms

o Discussion evolved to shared space/multi-purpose space with significant storage • Activate the south east corner as a family area • Replace slides • BBQs, additional required • Formalise the car park • Marshalling area at the southern end • Terrace the hill area to formalise • Shade over both ends of the 50m pool • Scoreboard and electronic timing at both ends of the 50m

Priorities • Enclose 25m pool, additional amenities

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 20 -

• Heat 50m all year use • Learn to swim improvements

3.4. Community Workshop 1 - Unaligned Users

Notes • Don’t like program pool • 25m area needs more amenities

o Drafty o Difficult exit from lanes 1 and 2 for less mobile aqua participants o Need a full wall in Winter minimum south and west walls

• 50m Outdoor temperature o Inadequate temperature for Winter o Need to isolate lagoon to improve temperature o Windbreak in south would be good

§ (anti park feel contradiction) o Too warm in Summer, retractable shade cloth help temp control, reduce UV exposure o Winter electric heating

• 50m amenities o Dated, need to be freshened up o Potential for events o Not enough and conflict with schools

• Car park needs to be finished o ‘drop-off’ dangerous

• Entry needs to use technology to reduce labour o Café used for social gatherings o Seating is harsh and difficult to access. Want side entry and back support. o Weather exposure limits attraction

• Slides need to be re-instated o Outdoor play preferred o Zero depth desirable

• Gym with basic equipment o Not to compete with local businesses o Space to conduct outdoor yoga and pilates o Support for a commercial gym in competition too o Commercial gym support grew o Crèche to enable parents to use gym - revenue o Sauna and steam room was mentioned

• Current communication at centre could be improved

Priorities • 25m amenities • Heat the 50m • 25m enclosed in some way

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 21 -

3.5. Stakeholder Workshop 3 - Allied Health

Current issues • Program pool

o times too restrictive 11-3pm o Precinct too far from entry o Wheelchair access too far, steep and difficult doors and gates o Open pathways from entry to water, elements creates issues o Access is difficult without stairs or a ramp o Ventilation is inadequate o More accessible change rooms o Improved infrastructure or storage for external providers. E.g. one provider brings a

change bed and hoist for specialist needs • 25m too ‘drafty’ • LPS uses site for half day visits including eating. Would like enhanced shelter or inside

o Increase shade, BBQs and improve seating o Cold in Winter detracts from visit frequency

Positive Features • Ramp into 25m is good

Opportunities and Constraints • Can we take the softball area for parking and improve proximity from car park to program pool • Warm water pool - extended access hours or purpose built pool would increase attendance • Allied health rooms

o Not for treatment initially o Currently turn clients away due to access limitations o Admin duties could be completed with a hot desk

• Gym, interest o Would consider land and water therapy o Group fitness classes for special needs great for social interaction

Priorities • Program pool access and functionality

3.6. Community Workshop 2 - Open Invitation

Current issues • Kiosk entry needs change

o Fix entry access o Improve amenity o Improve kiosk functionality o BBQ enhancement needed for family attractors

• 50m needs heating o Solar great but still restricts seasonal use.

§ 24C seen as minimum need o Improve heating with cutting off lagoon, using electricity, increasing solar

• 25m amenities are inadequate

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 22 -

o 1 toilet, 1 shower is ridiculous o Doesn’t comply with current standards o Lap lanes are congested

• Program pool doesn’t function for rehabilitation o Change spaces are poor o Access into the pool is poor o Access times are too restrictive (busy)

• Congestion for lap swimming o Mornings and late afternoons o Extend opening hours

Positive Features • Solar heating of 50m • Retain ‘park like’ atmosphere • Retain trees • Open areas - large open spaces

Opportunities and Constraints • Extend hours, more support for Summer evenings • Shade in Summer over 50 would be good • Tiered seating for carnivals • Diving board? • Elite sports facilities?

o Jet spa pool for elite training o Gymnasium for general public but elite attractor o Cardio or multi-purpose rooms o Specific training and education space o Potential triathlon training camp venue. HB already attracts elite camps

• Maryborough amenities are good example • Beach volleyball • Master plan should have options for ‘renovate’ and option for ‘rebuild’ • Undercover car park with training room and gym facilities above

Future Facilities • Lagoon slides need to be returned

o Zero depth adjacent or elsewhere would be great o Kids facilities or infrastructure are needed o No shallow swimming space available, lagoon is too busy

• More facilities for families • More facilities for older adults • Car park extension

Priorities • Warm water program pool • Amenities • Reception/kiosk

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 23 -

3.7. Internal Workshop 2 - Project Leadership Team

Notes • Facility location will become more ‘central’ as the population grows and new housing comes

online • Increased population will increase demand for lap lanes • Need to incorporate solar and other environmental initiatives • Suggest separate filtration for 50m and lagoon pools • Boundary Street to be duplicated long term • No major issues identified for planning approvals • Car parking space available should be adequate for potential development • Commercial gym/fitness - what are market conditions, ‘competitive neutrality’, demand

growth through population

3.8. Key Themes

Key themes that emerge from the consultation include: • Need to improve amenities and change facilities • Improved warm water and learn to swim facilities • Improved/additional heating of the 50m pool • Improved entry and cafe • Desire for outdoor water play facilities • Improved shade areas • Multi-purpose rooms

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 24 -

4. Master Plan Preparation

This section outlines the process of developing the master plan for HBAC by considering outcomes from the stakeholder engagement and outcomes of previous studies. 4.1. Summary of Key Findings

Through the stakeholder engagement process, a significant portion of the Hervey Bay community have been engaged and been invited to express their view on the proposed master plan for the HBAC. This has included over 400 respondents/participants across surveys and consultation sessions. The consistent feedback received during the process can reliably inform the preparation of the master plan. Key themes that have emerged from this consultation which will be used to inform the preparation of the master plan include:

• Need to address quality and quantity of amenities • Address accessibility to facilities and amenities • Need to address lack of outdoor waterplay • New/improved learn to swim and warm water pools • Improve weather/climate control for 25m pool • Improve entry and kiosk • Improve/additional shade and social areas • Provide multi-purpose rooms for a range of users • Improve temperature control of 50m pool • Dry play area for small children

4.1.1. Aquatic Facilities Operational Review Specific recommendations from this report for HBAC are summarised below:

• Develop high attractor new indoor aquatic, water play and leisure water, health and fitness and new entry facilities along main road frontage

• Develop new entry building off main road frontage and located to link proposed indoor and outdoor facilities.

• Undertake feasibility for o Health and fitness centre o Redeveloped outdoor leisure water areas o New indoor LTS pool and warm water program pool

§ New warm water program pool with ramp § Replace current indoor learn-to-swim pool § Develop amenities and change areas for these new aquatic areas linked to new

reception zone • Consider new group change rooms as part of the master plan

4.2. Design Brief

Based on key findings the following components are recommend for the master plan:

• Retain 50m pool and lagoon pools in current locations • Fully enclose 25m pool • Add amenities to the 25m pool

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 25 -

• Re-develop the front of house and 'outdoor change' o Entry o Kiosk/cafe

• Create area for new warm water and/or LTS pools near the new entry change o Remove the current warm water pool

• Add area for gymnasium, group fitness, multipurpose rooms - off the new entry • Outdoor water play additions/improvements to cater for range of ages • Additional shade/social areas • Terrace and shade for the current hill area (to the west of the 50m) • Shade over the ends of the 50m pool • Plant separation for the lagoon and 50m pools

o To improve heating and water treatment • Extended car park • Plan for potential staging to minimise operational impacts and match funding opportunities • Identify potential for future expansion

4.3. Site Services

Cardno completed a Building Services Inspection Report (Appendix C) to undertake an assessment of the existing condition, capacities and compliance of the existing building services as well as identify existing limitations for the planned site master plan. This report identifies a number of recommendations to support and guide the master plan as below: • Electrical services

o The facility currently appears at capacity in regard to power supply provisions from Ergon. Power bills have been obtained through the Aquatic Centre management; however, Cardno was unable to determine the demand. Further onsite investigations are required (by means of local testing/site data logging) to ascertain the current demand and assess options for power supply upgrade/amalgamation in conjunction with the proposed masterplan.

o The facility shall have an NBN room/single IT hub as part of any proposed masterplan. o Automatic fire detection system should be considered in any proposed masterplan and

conjunction with the Building certifier’s recommendations. o Local sub DB’s adjacent to chlorination equipment shall be IP rated and constructed with

material suitable for corrosive environments. o Equipotential bonding to metal structures adjacent to pools (to AS.3000:2018) shall be

provided as part of any proposed masterplan to the facility. • Mechanical Services

o Overall mechanical services air conditioning is minor within the complex and is considered in good condition however would not be considered in any proposed masterplan.

o Natural ventilation to amenities and enclosures should be considered within the masterplan with particular to any covered/enclosed pool/s.

o Depends on final masterplan air conditioning would typically involve small Direct Expansion (DX) plant with the ability to include outside air component to maintain building compliance.

o Pool equipment plant room/s ventilation should be considered in any masterplan to assist in extending the life span of equipment and minimise the risk of corrosion to equipment.

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 26 -

• Hydraulic services o Combine water services on-site for supply from a single metered connection o Re-use existing water reticulation where possible o Provide upgrades to backflow prevention on-site o Upgrade hot water generation and reticulation o Re-use existing sewer drainage where possible o Have a civil engineer to assess the stormwater discharge quality to the lake and provide details

of required upgrades o Re-use existing stormwater where possible o The re-use of existing pipework will be subject to the condition of the pipework on site. In the

event that buildings/structures are proposed in the location of existing in-ground services, the existing services are recommended to be replaced and re-routed around the building/structure.

• Fire protection services

o Assess fire coverage and provide additional fire hydrants and hose reels where required to achieve compliance with NCC requirements

4.4. Preliminary Option

Based on the design brief and to facilitate discussion with the PLT, FDG prepared a preliminary layout plan as shown below. Figure 21 – Preliminary Option

4.4.1. Preliminary Option Review The preliminary plan was presented and discussed with the PLT at a ‘Key Directions’ workshop on 19 November 2019. Discussion and subsequent feedback to inform the development of the master plan included:

• Almost all elements are represented within realistic financial constraints

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 27 -

• Ensuring administration views into the centre were facilitated • Consideration of the gym size (depending on financial objectives) • Prefer to move some elements around from the current proposal

o Potential relocation of the shallow splashpool • Like the staged approach as it enables continuous operation of the facility • 25m plan is good operationally • Need a staff room, first aid room and change village • Current layout does not service carnivals.

o Loss of hill area means space is inadequate (700 – 1100 kids around 5* per year. 300-400 20* per year).

o Offset maybe to activate south east corner of 24 lagoon pool • Ensure BBQs and shade are provided

o Adjacent to zero depth and lagoon desirable • Use full availability of space in car park

More detailed element by element feedback was provided to FDG. 4.5. Final Masterplan

Based on feedback received from the PLT, FDG developed a final master plan as shown below. A full site plan is shown in Appendix D and a 3D animated ‘fly through’ was provided to Council. Figure 22 - Final Master Plan

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 28 -

5. Implementation

This section outlines key information for the implementation of the project. 5.1. Project Cost and Staging

To enable the project to be implemented as and when funding becomes available, a staging plan and associated opinion of probable costs has been developed by FDG. The key stages are described below and shown in the following figure.

• Phase One Building Works - o 25M Pool Hall Upgrade & associated amenities & storage, New Splash Pad & Plant,

Upgrade of lagoon Pool & 50m Pool reticulation & New Lagoon Pool Plant Room • Phase Two Building Works –

o Indoor LTS/Hydro pool, plant & associated functions, tiered seating to 50m pool, new bar-b-que & pavements, demolish existing hydro pool & convert to multipurpose room + renovate entry/viewing to 25 m pool, carparking upgrade

• Phase Three Building Works – o Entry/foyer, kiosk/control, gym + amenities, new amenities/change rooms, new first

aid, new lifeguard office, new shade structure/social café zone Figure 23 - Staging Plan

FDG have prepared an opinion of probable costs for the project. A detailed version is shown in Appendix E. A summary by key project stages is shown below.

FCRC - Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Master Plan Consultation and Project Report - 29 -

Table 1 - Opinion of Probable Costs

Item Cost Phase One $ 4,688,100 Phase Two $ 4,447,000 Phase Three $ 4,526,200 Total $ 13,661,300

5.2. Whole of Life Costs

Cardno have developed asset renewal model to assist with identifying the whole of life cost of the facility. The model identifies specific asset types, useful life and replacement costs to enable an annualised asset renewal allowance to be calculated. The full model is shown in Appendix F, and the annualised renewal figure is calculated at $212,393. This will need to be funded in addition to capital costs and operating costs to sustain the ongoing operation of the facility. 5.3. Project Resources

5.3.1. Project Funding To bring to realisation a project of the scale for the redevelopment of the Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre a significant funding commitment from the three tiers of Government in partnership will need to be sought. Fraser Coast Regional Council has committed to a total contribution of $2,341,200 for capital costs across the 2021/22 and 2022/23 budget years. Based on the cost plans prepared for the Master Plan an additional $11.6million of funding is required to deliver all phases of redevelopment of the site. Additional funding should be available from state and federal government sources. It is expected that any additional funding from other levels of government will need to be matched by Council. Potential funding grants available at the time this report was prepared include:

• Works For Queensland – Queensland State Government • Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Funding – Federal Government • Building Better Regions Fund – Federal Government

Additional opportunities for funding will also become available and should be reviewed regularly. Operational costs and future asset management for the Aquatic Centre will be met by Council through income generated from the Centre entry fees, facility hire fees and potential contract leasing of commercial elements of the facility, which may include commission on sales and service provision. 5.3.2. Capacity of Council Although FCRC has extensive experience in managing projects of a similar scope and budget it does not currently have specific skills for the supervision of building related projects. It is expected that any future contracts shall be managed by Council’s Corporate Projects team and procured through Council’s established procurement process. It is expected that the following resources will be required throughout the remaining phases of project delivery for the site:

Phase Resources Required

Funding Submissions/Business Cases Internal Resources or Consultant

Design Development Architect, Quantity Surveyor, Civil Engineer and Structural Engineer

Tender Development/Procurement Council Procurement Team

Construction Phase Civil and Building Contractor, Site Supervisor/Superintendents Representative with building experience

5.4. Ongoing Project Engagement

To underpin ongoing stakeholder engagement and support Council should commit to effective and meaningful stakeholder and community engagement moving forward. Communication about the project, in general, should be regular, clear, timely and accessible. The following communication channels could be used to update the community on the progress of this project:

• News updates posted to Council’s website, • Notices in the Council section of the local paper, • Social media posts, • Community Report, and • Signage in the foyers of Council buildings.

In addition, there will be points during the project that more detailed consultation may be required. To this end, the key stakeholders should be consulted through appropriate channels to gauge their opinions and needs. The formation and maintenance of ongoing partnerships with key sport, government, tourism and business organisations should be a focus of implementing and managing the project.

4 Description of the Electrical services

The Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre comprises of Low Voltage (LV) main supplies and Distribution Board’s (DB), Telecommunications system, digital CCTV system, Sound system and electrical power supplies to Pool plant rooms.

The site currently has two LV points of connection from Ergon. One connection is from Boundary Rd and the other connection is from Raward Rd. Both connections are through overhead fuses and an over/under LV consumers mains to two LV MSB’s.

There is one NMI supply authority meter associated with the LV supply connection from Boundary Rd, however, it appears there are two NMI supply authority meters associated with the LV supply connection from Raward Rd.

The Main switchboard (MSB) associated with the Boundary Rd power supply connection is located in a room near the centre entry along with DB supplying the electric heat pumps for the 50 m pool. This MSB also feeds a DB located in the 50 m pool plant room which feeds the carpark lights and pool light towers.

There are Photovoltaics (PV) solar panels located above the admin building. Whereas, the inverter is located inside the MSB room.

The Main switchboard associated with the Raward Rd power supply connection is located in the 25 m indoor pool plant room. It feeds the heat pumps and all ancillary pool pumps and equipment. There are PV solar panels located above the 25 m indoor pool. The inverter is located inside the 25 m indoor pool plant room.

There is a DB that feeds the “program” pool located externally to an existing shed that houses the “program” pool pumps and ancillary equipment.

There is not enough evidence currently to substantiate the exact power demand of the site from the 2 Ergon connections however discussions from the site indicate that the site is currently at capacity and any proposed works within the site shall be done in liaison with Ergon.

The 50 m pool is illuminated through light poles that are time clock-controlled and operated through a set of contactors.

There is a separate single-phase overhead Ergon supply from Boundary Rd that feeds a pump shed (located adjacent the carpark near a pond). Cardno has been advised that the existing pond adjacent the carpark contains chlorinated water overflow from the pools and is used for irrigation purposes to the cricket ground across Boundary Rd.

There is also a redundant supply and 3 x single-phase meter cubicle located in the carpark (mounted on a property pole) that Cardno believe was made obsolete.

The communications system within the site consists of a server rack located within the Manager’s office and a remote rack located within the reception room of the 25 m indoor pool. The two racks are interconnected through a fibre cable network that runs underground between the two buildings.

Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) records were obtained to identify the points of entry to the fibre services.

One Fibre cable pit was sighted adjacent the 50 m pool carrying the interconnecting fibre cables.

6 Description of Electronic security services

The site has currently a digital CCTV network that consists of PoE cameras within the complex and around the existing carpark. The network switches for the CCTV camera network are located inside the 50 m pool light pole electrical panels.

7 Description of the Fire Detection services

The existing facility does not have an Automatic Fire Detection system to AS/NZS.1670. Hard-wired 240V smoke detectors were installed in the main facility.

8 Description of the Mechanical services

Mechanical Services to the facility were limited with most areas ventilated naturally.

Air conditioning was supplied by wall mounted split Direct Expansion (DX) plant, consisting of a wall-mounted internal fan coil unit with an external wall-mounted air-cooled condenser to the following areas:

• Facility Manager’s office

• Canteen

• Reception (between the covered 25m pool & program pool)

Natural ventilation was provided via grille or breeze blocks to the following areas:

• Existing amenities/changerooms

• Existing pool plant room/s

• Existing indoor pools (Program Pool)

• Existing covered pool (25m)

9 Description of the Hydraulic services

The onsite hydraulic services consist of the following:

• Domestic water supply

• Sewer drainage

• Stormwater drainage

The site currently has two domestic water supplies connected to the town mains reticulation. A 50mm DIA meter connection is supplied from a 100mm DIA water main in Raward Road. The 50mm DIA water meter is located inside the eastern boundary adjacent to the property fence. A second 100mm DIA connection is supplied from a 300mm DIA water main in Boundary Road.

The water supply from the 50mm DIA connection is assumed to supply the fixtures and pool plant for the 25m pool area. The water supply from the 100mm DIA connection is assumed to supply the pool house/entry fixtures serving the 50m pool, Lagoon pool and plant.

A 315-litre hot electric water heater supplies hot water to the amenities within the 25m pool area.

Sewer drainage gravitates from to site to the town mains in Boundary Road. The site-wide sewer is believed to connect to the sewer manhole adjacent to the northwest corner of the pool house/entry building. The gravity sewer is connected to all plumbing fixtures on-site and may receive some pool plant discharge.

Stormwater drainage throughout the site is assumed to all discharge to the lake at the southwest corner of the site. The stormwater collects surface drainage, roof drainage and pool overflow.

10 Description of the Fire Protection services

Street hydrants are assumed to have provided fire hydrant coverage to the buildings on site. The street hydrants are suitable for coverage to the pool house/entry building but do not provide adequate coverage to the 25m pool building.

12 Discussion

12.1 Switchboards There are multiple switchboards within the site. They are all locally distributed within the facility (refer section 4). The condition of the switchboards is generally fair with the exception of MSB-2 located in the 25 m pool plant room that appears in a good condition.

The main switch to MSB-2 is rated 250A. The electric heat pumps have been assigned a separate tariff (tariff 22) from the rest of the loads connected of MSB-2 (tariff 37). The facility appears to have significant electric heat pump load and any proposed works to the facility shall be in liaison with Ergon to ascertain availability of power supply for any proposed master plan to the facility. Amalgamating power supply from Ergon shall also be considered for consistency and compliance requirements with supply authority requirements.

While on-site Cardno has been advised that the existing 50 m pool plant room DB is currently being scheduled for replacement (due to its deteriorating condition) and close proximity to the chlorination dosing plant.

12.2 Lighting Internal lighting within the buildings comprises of fluorescent lights and is generally in good condition. The 50 m pool light towers are LED floodlights and appear to be in a very good condition; similar to the 25m pool and the programmed pool floodlights.

There is no intelligent lighting control within the facility.

There is a master light control panel in the main canteen (admin building) and IR light motion sensors in some of the staff areas.

12.3 Telecommunications services The facility appears to have been scheduled for NBN rollout however there was no NBN equipment installed at the time of the inspection. Telstra is the current telecommunications utility/service provider for the facility. The telecommunications system within the facility comprises of the main rack in the manager’s office and a remote rack in the 25m pool building interconnected through a fibre cable U/G network and pit/pipe arrangement.

We would recommend dedicating a new Comms room in the new masterplan to facilitate a single Telecommunications hub for the entire facility. The Comms room has to be NBN ready and sized accordingly.

12.4 Security services There is currently a CCTV network within the facility that is IP and connected to the telecommunications network. The CCTV cameras are cabled via CAT 5 cables (network switches are located within the 50 m pool light tower control panels).

Generally, any proposed CCTV and security surveillance systems are to be designed in conjunction the Functional and technical design brief that is to be provided by the stakeholders and further to the recommendations of the community consultation consultant.

12.5 Exit and emergency lighting The exit and emergency lighting within the facility appear to be single point-based to AS.2293. Exit signs are provided at exit doors. General emergency lights are provided within the admin building. The proposed masterplan shall put into consideration compliance requirements with the National Construction Code (NCC) in regards to coverage of emergency lighting.

12.6 Fire protection systems The fire hydrant and hose reel coverage strategy is unclear and has non-compliant to the undercover pool building. The fire system compliance shall be reviewed in accordance with the NCC requirements as part of the proposed masterplan.

Insert job reference | 22 June 2020 19

12.7 Water supply Authority water mains are expected to have sufficient capacity to cater for any upgrades proposed on-site. The water supply strategy shall be reviewed as part of the proposed masterplan works. Where possible, water supplies shall be combined and reticulated from a single connection to the site.

Backflow prevention appears to be minimal and requires a further assessment as part of the proposed master plan works.

Hot water generation and water reticulation are recommended to be upgraded in the event that amenities are refurbished as part of the proposed master plan works.

12.8 Sewer drainage Gravity sewer drainage is the preferred option for the site. Should changes be required to the drainage as part of the proposed masterplan works, the locations of fixtures shall be assessed to ensure that reticulation to gravity drainage is achievable.

12.9 Stormwater drainage Stormwater drainage may require pre-treatment review and reporting by a suitably qualified civil engineer to ensure the stormwater drainage will not contaminate the lake on-site as part of the proposed master plan upgrades.

12.10 Mechanical Services Three (3-off) wall mounted split DX air conditioning systems, consisting of a wall-mounted internal fan coil unit with an external wall-mounted air-cooled condenser connected via insulated refrigerant pipework. The Facility Manager’s office supplied by a 4.6kW Daikin reverse cycle heat pump with R410a refrigerant. The Canteen served by a 3.5kW Mitsubishi reverse cycle heat pump with R32 refrigerant. Finally, the reception at the 25m covered pool and program pool, supplied by a 3.5kW Mitsubishi reverse cycle heat pump with refrigerant R32.

Condensate drains are provided to each air conditioning system.

No controlled filtered outside air was provided to either split air conditioning systems.

13 Conclusion & Recommendations

13.1 Electrical services • The facility currently appears at capacity in regards to power supply provisions from Ergon. Power bills

have been obtained through the Aquatic Centre management, however, Cardno was unable to determine the demand. Further onsite investigations are required (by means of local testing/site data logging) to ascertain the current demand and assess options for power supply upgrade/amalgamation in conjunction with the proposed masterplan.

• The facility shall have an NBN room/single IT hub as part of any proposed masterplan.

• Automatic fire detection system should be considered in any proposed masterplan and conjunction with the Building certifier’s recommendations.

• Local sub DB’s adjacent to chlorination equipment shall be IP rated and constructed with material suitable for corrosive environments.

• Equipotential bonding to metal structures adjacent to pools (to AS.3000:2018) shall be provided as part of any proposed masterplan to the facility.

13.2 Mechanical Services • Overall mechanical services air conditioning is minor within the complex and is considered in good

condition however would not be considered in any proposed masterplan.

• Natural ventilation to amenities and enclosures should be considered within the masterplan with particular to any covered/enclosed pool/s.

Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre – Building Services Inspection Report Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre Masterplan

Insert job reference | 22 June 2020 20

• Depends on final masterplan air conditioning would typically involve small Direct Expansion (DX) plant with the ability to include outside air component to maintain building compliance.

• Pool equipment plant room/s ventilation should be considered in any masterplan to assist in extending the life span of equipment and minimise the risk of corrosion to equipment.

13.3 Hydraulic services • Combine water services on-site for supply from a single metered connection

• Re-use existing water reticulation where possible

• Provide upgrades to backflow prevention on-site

• Upgrade hot water generation and reticulation

• Re-use existing sewer drainage where possible

• Have a civil engineer to assess the stormwater discharge quality to the lake and provide details of required upgrades

• Re-use existing stormwater where possible

The re-use of existing pipework will be subject to the condition of the pipework on site. In the event that buildings/structures are proposed in the location of existing in-ground services, the existing services are recommended to be replaced and re-routed around the building/structure.

13.4 Fire protection services • Assess fire coverage and provide additional fire hydrants and hose reels where required to achieve

compliance with NCC requirements
