STATUS OF SUBMISSION TO THE NSW GOVERNMENT FOR A FULL TRACK UPGRADE AT NARRABEEN
The preparation of a submission, to be jointly presented to the NSW Government by the Sydney Pacific Athletic Club and the Manly Warringah Little Athletics Centre for a full resurfacing of the Narrabeen Track, is being finalised.
The Sydney Pacific Athletic Club President has recently met with key stakeholders including the CEO of Athletics NSW, Duncan Tweed and a member of the NSW Office of Sport Executive. The Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation Narrabeen is one of 11 Sport and Recreation Centres in NSW that are part of the NSW Office of Sport.
The submission states that ‘in the very short term a full upgrade of the Tartan Track to IAAF standard
1at the Track & Field Centre is required at the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation, Narrabeen, NSW’.
As the cost for such work will be in excess of $500,000, this classifies as a Major Capital Work and is subject to budget administrative processes between the NSW Office of Sport and the NSW Treasury.
In developing its strategic direction for 2015-19, the NSW Office of Sport has identified strategic priorities
2that include:
Provision of high quality venues and facilities
Increased participation in sport and active recreation activities
High performance sporting success and well developed pathways.
The CEOs of both Athletics NSW and Little Athletics NSW have provided to the Sydney Pacific Club President, in writing, very strong support for the Narrabeen Track upgrade.
The Narrabeen Track & Field facility is well used by the Sydney Pacific Athletic Club, the Manly Warringah Little Athletics Centre, local primary and secondary schools, the Warringah Triathlon Club and independent coaches and their squads. The last major track refurbishment at Narrabeen was in 2008.
It has been estimated that the Narrabeen based Sydney Pacific Athletic Club Coaches and their Athletes spend at least $56,000 per year on entry fees to the Narrabeen T&F Centre.
