This can then be considered in the next term of Council.\u201d<br \/>\nHe said in the meantime, the council had been focused on progressing its planning for major facilities, such as the Surf Coast Cultural Facility, the upgrade to Grant Pavilion and the Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE future sporting needs of Torquay and Jan Juc will have to be decided by the next group of councillors, after the existing council confirmed it had not taken a second look at a study prepared more than 12 months ago.
