Our aim in developing a feasibility study is to provide our clients with the confidence to proceed – or not – with their proposed investment. At the conclusion of the study, our clients will understand the basis for our recommendations, which will have been formed from extensive market analysis and community consultation.

Our staff have strong business credentials, as well as sport and recreation facility management backgrounds, and we approach feasibility studies from these perspectives.

We believe it essential that community leisure facilities should be sustainable over the long term. Armed with an understanding of our clients’ resources, and expectations for the facility, we will establish the best management and operating scenarios. We will also establish the areas of risk so that our client can model various scenarios and view the outcomes.

Eastern Suburbs Hockey Club

In 2008, ROSS Planning considered the feasibility of the club developing a synthetic hockey surface.

As the club’s existing grounds were not satisfactory, a new site firstly had to be found. As the preferred site was a multi-use facility, satisfactory management arrangements needed to be established.

The facility was deemed viable with a low level of risk, due to the latent demand for this sort of facility. Construction of the artificial surface and a clubhouse is likely to start in 2009 (subject to a successful grant application).

Redcliffe City Council

This project involved assessing the feasibility of redeveloping the existing tennis facility managed by the Redcliffe Tennis Association.

The project included significant consultation, development of business and management plans and the presentation of costed concept plans.

A Major Facilities Program application will be finalised once Sport and Recreation Queensland announces the requirements for the next funding round.
