Feasibility Studies

It's important to do your homework.

@leisure has undertaken feasibility studies about a range of community facilities - from neighbourhood houses, school facilities, arts, meeting, aquatics, tourism facilities and to international standard sports facilities. The provision of well-researched, detailed and prudent financial advice has been a feature of these studies.

@leisure understands how to assess demand, needs, costs, management, marketing and viability - and how to address the challenges.

The success of your project is important to us.

We are sport and leisure enthusiasts. We care about the successful implementation of major projects.

We prepare management and lifecycle cost plans, joint venture and management agreements, marketing and promotional strategies. We can ensure that the critical issues affecting viability are flagged to inform implementation.

We offer sound advice. We have the capability and the experience to provide you with practical advice about the viability of facilities, including priority actions, based on both economic and social considerations.

We work on existing and potential projects. We have conducted a large number of feasibility analyses for activities such as tennis and golf, skateboarding, BMX, gymnastics, ice sports, indoor court sports, fishing, lawn bowls, football cricket and hockey.

Sports development plans

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, around 30% of Australians participate in sport or physical activities organised by a club or association.

Do you know which sports are growing and which are not, and why? We can help you find out. We can help your sport set out a road map to success: a strategic plan for the business a plan to grow participation, develop and market programs, and devise what facilities are required, when.

We enjoy our sport, and we enjoy working with sports and community leaders to achieve increased participation.

We understand management and marketing issues. We devise and recommend good, practical, workable, short- and long-term strategies in plain English for our clients.

Sports master plans

Sporting facilities deliver a range of benefits to a community. In Victoria, even 50% of men enjoy social contact through sport and recreation. We can help you determine the best form and layout of facilities that maximise viability, reduce management cost, and meets your budget.

Do you need help to improve sports facilities?

We offer practical solutions. Our plans work well because our core business includes park and play area and sport facility master plans, designs and management planning.

Our experience counts. We have worked with government agencies, statutory planners, developers councils and clubs to meet both community and commercial objectives, and also to negotiate development contributions toward new facilities.

Physical activity studies

Walking and other social recreation activities are important to address current issues of obesity and poor health outcomes. We prepare participation strategies to facilitate such activity and motivate those who are currently not participating.

This work has focused on adolescents, older adults and the wider communities.

We also speak at seminars on such topics.

Tourism and culture studies

Town halls, performing arts centres and visitor attractions, feasibility and development planning as well as arts and cultural strategies are all undertaken by @leisure. Recent projects have also addresses the planning and design of tourism facilities for people with a disability.
