Ruby suggested creating a Facebook event in order to advertise, this goes hand in hand with advertising via word of mouth. The event will have a first in best dressed Policy.

Councillor Kudrenko mentioned that the Alice Springs Town Council has alternate groups that YAG can be involved in. This includes the Environment Advisory Committee and the Parks Advisory Committee.

Ella asks what is considered to be the perfect number of people for YAG. Caleb replied that 14 devoted members should be enough. Mitch said that up to 20 would be okay.

Matt suggests that we help out on Clean Up Australia Day, the group agreed that it was a good idea.

Rebecca suggested that the group advertises itself at the Alice Springs Show.

Councillor Kudrenko mentioned that it could be a good time to start advertising YAM Fest.

Ella noted that the group needed to increase its awareness. She suggested reaching out to parents, as often they will encourage their children to participate in groups.

Councillor Kudrenko suggested increasing awareness through media like ABC Local and the Advocate.

Caleb mentioned that Headspace had the idea of hosting a public forum that could discuss issues that youth in the community are currently struggling with.

The group agreed that the Forum would be able to cover a lot of themes that come under, ‘issues’. Councillor Kudrenko supported the idea, but noted that the group needed to make sure that the right people are attending the meeting (councillors/doctors etc.), so that those who are at the Forum can receive appropriate responses. Additionally, the group needs to ensure that the Forum doesn’t just ‘discuss’ issues, it also needed to work on improving the issues that are brought up during this Forum (if it becomes more than an idea).

Rebecca suggested using a Facebook poll to find out what issues people are dealing with in Alice Springs.

The group agreed that a forum is a good way for the group to act as a voice for the Youth of Alice Springs.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

The learn to swim program for Term 1 remain very high with over 500 students enrolled. The Term was originally shortened to 5 weeks with the expectation that the indoor centre would be closed in March for remediation of the tiling failure. The term has now been extended to the full 10 week program. Increasing the number of infant qualified instructors is of the highest priority to accommodate the rapidly growing community demand of learn to swim lessons for children aged 6 months to 4 years of age. Royal Lifesaving have a training course planned for March 13.

Aqua aerobics continued strongly with almost 900 participants across a variety of programs on offer including traditional, deep water, high intensity interval and combat classes.

Plans for Term 1 School Vacation and Term 2 Afterschool programs to are well underway and will be advertised and open for bookings in March. Investigations into options for obtaining a licence to be able to offer government provided rebates are moving forward which will make the program more affordable and accessible to the community.

The Health and Wellness Centre continues with an expanded program delivering pivotal services to the community including: Keep You Moving (falls prevention renamed to be more inclusive), Lift for Life, Small Group Training and X-Train.

The School Swimming Carnival season began on February 18 with St Phillips College. The St Phillips carnival is the largest with over 600 students in attendance. Portable grandstands have been installed adjacent to the 50m pool for the first time this year to enable better and more accessible viewing for spectators and thereby creating a more manageable environment for staff members.

USER GROUPS

• A contingent of 13 members of the Alice Springs Swimming Club have been training hard for the Northern Territory Open and Aged Championships (long course). The composition of the team is quite different to that of last years with new senior members with familiar faces of the recent past moving on and first time participants. This meet also represents the culmination of 12 months focus of training since the appointment of head coach lain McDowell Jones.

• The Alice Springs Triathlon Club continue to host events that generate great interest and engagement within the community. Two major Triathlon events were held in February, the Valentines’ Day Sprint Event on Sunday, February 14 and the Get Physical Triathlon on Sunday, February 28. With events for all ages and abilities this event reportedly attracted over 130 participants.

SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION

The solar energy generation system is once again fully operational with the final failed inverter having been replaced in February. Network connectivity issues continue to prevent reporting on this month’s solar output which requires communication between ASTC’s IT department and Solergy. All data dating back to November will be obtained and reported once connections are once again established.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance for the month of February included repairs to leaking showers in our indoor change rooms. Quotes have been requested for upgrades of the indoor change room taps, tap handles and soap dispensers as well as showerhead for the automatic shower tunnel. These upgrades would assist with refreshment of the aesthetics of the facility and create simpler management that will reduce maintenance costs in the future.

Requests for service and repairs to our solar heating system have been provided to Heliocol, the original installer. Unfortunately no response has been forthcoming following numerous efforts for contact during the past month. Engagement efforts will continue, otherwise other options will be investigated.

Leisure pump 1 has been reinstalled following major service and repairs.

Quotes have been received from All Electrical for parts to repair our outdoor LTS pool. Duncan will be contacting me soon to set up a time and date to get the parts installed.

Electrical faults have plagued the Outdoor Toddler Paddle Splash pool intermittently over the past few months. The pump was returned to operation by electricians on the on February 14 only to fail again on the February 26. Electricians have again been engaged to remedy the fault.

Trisley Hydraulics begun their major 5 year maintenance of the plant rooms on February 29.

Other regular maintenance includes:• Regular backwashing of filters• Regular maintenance of dosing equipment• Regular monitoring of gauges and chemical levels• Grounds maintenance• Mowing and weeding• Regular cleaning of scum lines, tiles and stainless steel• Regular water quality checks, balancing and chemical dosing

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM

As part of a regular schedule of “hyperchlorination” to avoid further instances of Cryptosporidium infection, following guidelines for Cryptosporidium management, on the 18th of February the Leisure pool was “hyperchlorinated” for thirteen hours at 20 parts per million of chlorine, followed by chemically rebalancing. The Leisure pool was closed to the public for 6 hours in total during the management process. A notice to public was issued also on this day.

TILING

At 5.30pm on February 11, a community consultation was held at ASALC providing details of planned remediation works to repair the failed tiling in the indoor Centre our management plan during the scheduled timeframe and an opportunity for the public to raise any concerns. Whilst those present had no further questions regarding the tiling, the opportunity was taken to raise other concerns which were duly noted and where possible actioned upon.

The management plan for which the public has been notified via various media and the community consultation includes:

• The raising of the indoor 25m pool and outdoor Learn to Swim pool temperature to 30 degrees Celsius to maintain the comfort and wellbeing of all patrons including infants, the elderly and the rehabilitating.

• The installation of staircase entry into the indoor 25m and outdoor learn to swim pools to ensure safer and more accessible entry

• The procurement of platforms for the indoor 25m to enable young children to stand in the deeper water during learn to swim lessons.

• The placement of covers on the outdoor 50m pool overnight to reduce heat loss for the comfort of lap swimmers.

WATER QUALITY

Water quality testing was conducted 4 hourly as per Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (GSPO). Pool tests are conducted and logged at 5:30am, 9:50am, 1:00pm and 5:00pm.
