Surf Coast FC<\/a> has asked for an initial licence of five years, with the option to extend for two years then another two years.<\/p>\nThe council\u2019s Property Use Agreements Policy only allows a maximum licence agreement of three years, and does not allow consideration for negotiating longer tenure or option for further terms when a tenant provides commitment of funds towards an upgrade of a facility.<\/p>\n
However, councillors resolved unanimously to allow an exemption, and authorised acting chief executive officer Anne Howard to negotiate and execute a licence agreement with Surf Coast FC for five years with two two-year options.<\/p>\n
Cr Rose Hodge, who moved the motion, said there had been a lot of discussion between the shire\u2019s officers and Surf Coast FC.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis really gives this group extra time, because a lot of these sports now, especially after COVID, really need sponsorship, and to have the security of that extra licence will help that along,\u201d<\/p>\n
Cr Hodge said. \u201cThey\u2019re a great club, they have many hundreds of applicants, they have a very good female soccer group as well, so I think if we can help this group out with that longer term, it\u2019ll be very helpful for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt they\u2019ll be great in the coming years and you\u2019ll see a lot of success at that club, and I\u2019m looking forward to them representing the entire shire in all the regional soccer matches they\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cr Paul Barker congratulated Surf Coast FC for putting $100,000 of its own funds towards the proposed upgrade of Grant Pavilion, which the shire has already allocated $50,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can just see that we as a community can achieve so much if we have those sort of contributions from organisations that are involved, and I\u2019d encourage any other club or group to continue raising funds to achieve better outcomes for the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
