Sport and Recreation Facilities - User Guide

Council has developed the 'Sport & Recreation Facilities - User Guide' to provide sport and recreation clubs with essential information regarding their use of Council facilities. It is recommended that clubs read the user guide in conjunction with their licence or lease agreement to ensure that they fully understand the role and responsibilities of both the club and Council in the management and use of sport and recreation facilities in Hobsons Bay.

One-on-one meetings

A key part of the Club Development Program is the opportunity for clubs to arrange a one on one meeting with a Council officer from the Sport and Recreation team. This is a great way to build a working relationship to plan for the future of the club and solve problems where relevant.

'Build Relationships - Plan for the Future'

Each club is encouraged to contact Council’s Sport and Recreation Officer to arrange a meeting at a suitable time.

Process for One on One meeting:

  1. Send an expression of interest to set up a meeting by emailing Council’s Sport and Recreation Officer, Samuel Georgiovski at sgeorgiovski@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au
  2. Arrange a suitable time and location to meet
  3. Complete the ‘Pre Meeting Questionnaire’ and return this via email, prior to the meeting
  4. One on one meeting takes place
  5. Meeting summary notes to be provided by Sport and Recreation Officer within two weeks of meeting taking place

Note:

  • meetings can be scheduled between 8am and 3pm, Monday to Friday, onsite or at the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre in Altona
