At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 28 July 2021, Council resolved to place the expenditure of $33,000 from the Sports Council Development Levy Fund towards three identified Sports Council priority list projects on public exhibition commencing Wednesday 4 August 2021 and ending on Wednesday 1 September 2021.

The Sports Council Priority List has been developed and implemented by the Sports Council successfully for a long period of time. The list organises community sporting infrastructure projects in order of priority as considered by the Sports Council and provides details of funding needed for the project and funding requested from the Sports Council Development Fund. The Development Fund has previously been the revenue collected from Sports Development Player Levies and intermittent funding provided by Council.

The three projects selected to receive funding from the Sports Council Development Fund were proposed by Armidale District Cricket Association (ADCA) with contributions from ADCA for all three projects as follows:

  • Rologas cricket storage shed - $8000.00 requested from Sports Council Development Fund
    • ADCA to contribute $4000 towards project
  • Armidale Sportsground replacement of electronic scoreboard - $15,000.00 requested from Sports Council development Fund
    • ADCA to contribute $12,000 towards project
  • Armidale Sportsground extension of ADCA clubhouse - $10,000.00 requested from Sports Council Development Fund
    • ADCA to contribute $15,000 towards project

TOTAL FUNDING COMMITMENT: $33,000.00
REMAINING IN FUND: $35,816.00

ADCA have managed projects in conjunction with Council in the past and have successfully delivered these projects. Currently, ADCA are managing the Indoor Cricket Training Facility at Armidale Sportsground, with stage 3 of 4 nearing completion. ADCA and Armidale Regional Council have a good history of working together to deliver projects and with ADCA contributing a significant portion of their own funding, it is expected that the projects will be delivered in a timely and cost effective manner.

Reviewing and implementing the Sports Council Priority List link into the ARC Delivery Program 2018-2021 by supporting the characteristics of a strong council including robust community relationships, strong performance and outstanding service provision. The Priority List provide direct community input into the development and implementation of the Community Strategic Plan E3.3 through its contribution to ensuring that recreation facilities meet the ongoing needs of the community.
