Outcome 4.5 Community Sport and Recreation Facilities

Outcome description

Brisbane residents have access to a broad range of well-managed quality community facilities providing sporting, recreational, social and cultural opportunities.

Where we are now

Council has over 500 community leases and licences for a range of community purposes such as sports and recreation clubs, community arts groups and social services i n c l u d i n g Meals on Wheels and seniors' centres. These assets have a range of maintenance requirements.

Brisbane's expanding population is placing increasing pressure on the existing supply of community facilities. Council faces the challenge of ensuring optimum use of existing community facilities while exploring ways to increase the provision of new and improved facilities to meet the needs of a diverse community.

Where we want to be

Planning for new and improved community facilities as an integral component of the city's infrastructure development will be crucial as localities undergo redevelopment and change.

A sound understanding of the needs of potential user groups that wish to access community facilities will ensure that groups are matched to facilities that meet their needs.

Facilities are both flexible in design and fit for purpose. These facilities will have good asset and risk management plans and programs to maintain public safety while responding to changing demands.

Developing partnerships with other groups provide the opportunity of extending Council's investment in community facility development. This may include other spheres of government, not-for-profit sectors and community-based enterprises.

Outcome 4.6 City Icons

Outcome description

Council's iconic City Hall is fundamental to the city's identity, government, cultural and community life. City Hall is a heritage building Council has preserved for current and future generations.

Where we are now

The first foundation stone for City Hall was laid in 1917. City Hall was officially opened on 8 April, 1930 and is a significant heritage building listed on the local, state and national heritage registers.

For the past 84 years, City Hall has been the backdrop to many of Brisbane's cultural, social and civic events. After an extensive $215 million program of works, City Hall has been restored as the 'People's Place' and a focal point of social and civic life in Brisbane.

Where we want to be

City Hall remains a symbol and focus for Brisbane the capital city of Queensland. It is used daily for community activities, concerts, social events, conferences and citizenship ceremonies.

Strategy 4.6.1 Preserve and Maintain City Hall and King George Square Precinct

Ensure the City Hall facility continues to adhere to building standards and requirements for current and future users.

Service 4.6.1.1 The People's Place Precinct

City Hall is an iconic facility that enhances the social and civic life in Brisbane.

City Hall augments and enriches residents' and visitors' experience by featuring the MoB, Shingle Inn and Red Cross Café within the facility.

The facility, including plant and equipment, will be maintained to ensure all users and commercial operators are able to conduct business and maintain services. This will include the Lord Mayor's office, Council Chambers, public gallery and committee rooms, community spaces, clock tower and King George Square.

Council contributes to the hiring costs of City Hall and surrounding precinct through a Community Service Obligation to eligible community groups. Over coming years, Council will continue to invest in City Hall maintenance and upgrades including the pianos for use by entertainers and community groups.
