I would appreciate early feedback from organisations that have already considered their long term facility needs. In particular, information regarding any identified facility development projects that need to be undertaken in the next few years, in order to meet aspirations of hosting events. in the seven year period leading up to the 2000 Olympics, would be very valuable.
Your focus, at this stage, should primarily be on the international or national events or camps that you would like to host during the next seven or so years, .the extent to which existing facilities can or cannot meet the requirements of, the event, and the necessary
trading or development of facilities needed to host the
event, with approximate costings if possible.
While Olympic sports are already likely to have given some of these issues considerable thought, non-Olympic sport and recreation groups may not have. done so. Nevertheless, in the light of the opportunity to include sporting activities and events in Canberra as a major part of the Centenary of Federation celebrations in 2001, long term facility planning and development is equally important.
During 1994, one of the Councils priorities is to conduct a workshop session on various aspects of facility development and planning. This training workshop will provide valuable assistance to sport and recreation in establishing their long term facility development plans. I also invite you now to indicate your organisations interest in participating in such a training workshop. Any comments on the preferred content and format of such a workshop is also welcome.
I look forward to a preliminary response from your sport or recreation organisation by Friday 11 March 1994 so that the Council and the ACT 2000 Committee can begin to set some parameters for facility development over the next six or seven years, especially in relation to the need to upgrade existing facilities in order to accommodate international competition.
Please find attached a summary of the information I am seeking from you.
If you require further information, and to submit a response please contact the Executive Officer of the ACT Sport. and Recreation Council, Cathy Taylor on phone: 207 2054 or fax: 207 2071.
Submissions may be sent to:

The Council looks forward to working with you and your organisation during 1994.
