National Sports Club Redevelopment ? Concept ... - Tennis Australia

17 August 2012 | Kelly Smith

Please click here to view the Concept Site Masterplan

The National Sports Club at Southwell Park was officially opened on September 12, 1970 by Sir John Overall.

The $200,000 National Tennis and Squash Centre, the current headquarters of Tennis ACT (TACT), was a joint project between the tennis and squash associations, originally boasting 12 granite tennis courts, six grass courts, six squash courts, a licensed bar, change rooms and administration offices.

The club has a rich history; playing host to squash legend Heather McKay, and tennis greats such as Roy Emerson, Neale Fraser, Adrian Quist, John Newcombe, John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl. More recently, Justine Henin, Ana Ivanovic and Mary Pierce have competed at the venue.

Over the years the club has expanded to meet the needs of the enthusiastic tennis-playing community. It currently has 25 tennis courts, eight squash courts, three indoor cricket courts and a licensed clubhouse with 18 poker machines.

The local tennis programs delivered from the facility have also produced players who have gone on to international success, including Wally Masur and Alun Jones.

The National Sports Club, through tennis, has been providing many benefits to the local community and economy over the past 40 years, these have included:

??Active recreation and unstructured play ? public access casual hire
??Grassroots community based participation programs ? Tennis in Schools and MLC Tennis Hot??? Shots
??Club competitions ? social tennis, club championships, etc.
??Domestic competitions ? pennant and Turbo Tennis finals
??Domestic tournaments ? Junior Development Series and Resident Championships
??Interstate tournaments ? AMT, OJT and Tennis NSW Junior Development Series
??Tennis Seniors events and competitions
??International tournaments ? Pro Tour, ITF Junior and Senior events
??Athlete development ? ACT National Academy, Tennis NSW South Eastern Regional Academy? and TACT Talent

Development programs
??Inclusion programs for the indigenous and disabled
Currently, TACT has players and coaches from the surrounding region participating or coaching at the centre and it will continue to provide an important development pathway for community programs, athlete development and coaching for the surrounding region.

These regional and national programs will have the capacity to further expand with the proposed new infrastructure.

While TACT continues to offer such programs, its facilities are in a state of disrepair. The centre?s poor state played a part in the centre losing the right to host the Canberra Women?s Classic, an international tennis tournament in January, and is hampering efforts to offer world-class practice facilities for the whole community.

The facilities are in such a state of disrepair that the building will soon be unsafe. The major issues include:
??Multiple roof leaks
??Rotting floor boards and ceiling panels
??Structural integrity of the indoor cricket viewing mezzanine and first floors
??Ongoing plumbing and electrical faults ? constant power outages due to circuit overloads
??Inadequate heating and cooling ? Boiler can no longer be serviced
??Ongoing challenges in keeping the fire and safety equipment in compliance
??Squash courts leak through the vandalised exhaust fans

The $20 million redevelopment, a joint project by Tennis ACT, Tennis Australia, Next Generation Clubs of Australia and the ACT Government, will build a high quality modern leisure facility to benefit the whole community.

The facilities are proposed to include:
??12 hard court tennis courts (8 outdoor, 4 indoor)
??8 sand-filled artificial grass tennis courts
??12 clay tennis courts
??Tennis amenities, including:
??????? ? Clubroom
??????? ? Change rooms
??????? ? Coach offices
??????? ? Tournament office
??Outdoor pool and garden/barbecue area
??Modern gymnasium
??25m indoor pool and children?s pool
??Spa, steam rooms and sauna
??6 squash courts
??Licensed bar and cafe/restaurant and ancillary lounge areas
??Children?s games area and soft play area
??Cr?che
??Premium members wet area
??Small meeting room
??High quality change rooms
??Specialty ancillary retail goods and services
??General administration offices, storeroom and circulation space, including office space for TACT

The redevelopment will also facilitate a change in business model, which will remove TACT?s reliance on a licensed club to remain sustainable. The model would also remove poker machines from the facility, helping to alleviate problem gambling issues in the local community.

The proposed new centre will remain within the Lyneham Sports Precinct, and thus complements the ACT Government?s vision for the delivery of sports facilities in the Territory.

While there are two distinct aspects to the development, the tennis facilities (Block 12) and the leisure centre (Block 10), a holistic approach will be taken to the project to create economies wherever possible.

This course will see a coordinated development application for deconcessionalisation of Block 10 and 12, with two additional development applications for lease variations and construction on both blocks. The required lease variation on Block 10 is an estimated 10 per cent increase in the allowed gross floor area to accommodate the squash courts and

TACT administration offices.
Block 12 requires a number of variations: an adjustment to the maximum number of courts permitted, that parking will be serviced by Block 10 and the surrounding common parking provided by the Lyneham infrastructure project and deconcessionalisation to allow security over access rights for NGCA.

TACT, Tennis Australia and NGCA will form the lead for the project through a Project Control Group. TACT will appoint a project manager to consult with specialist architects in the design and construction of the tennis facilities. NGCA will appoint a project manager to coordinate a team of architects and builders for the design and construction of the leisure facility. Both project managers will consult on the interaction between the facilities and coordinate their design teams to ensure cohesive and effective design. Preliminary work has been undertaken on a master plan to ensure this approach is coordinated and as effective as possible.

Competitive construction tendering will be undertaken, again exploring economies through consolidation of the capital works program. The potential redevelopment of the AIS tennis facilities will also be a key consideration as it also presents an opportunity for economies of scale.

Construction is likely to be advanced on the tennis facilities as tennis courts are in high demand and these facilities will be able to function independently for a short time.

The construction and operating costs of the leisure facility will be NGCA?s responsibility and TACT will be accountable for the construction and operating costs of the tennis facility. The leisure facility will provide the necessary infrastructure to support the hosting of major tennis events, while the commercial arrangement for the sublease will ensure TACT and the community tennis facilities are sustainable in the long term.

The sublease arrangements with NGCA will require the deconcessionalisation of Block 10 and 12. It is hoped that the community will recognise the benefits of this deconcessionalisation in what Tennis ACT hope will be a relatively uncomplicated process given that there is no change of use, no modifications to the Territory Plan or any inconsistencies with the originally intended use of the concessional leases.

Sport is an essential part of the social fabric of local communities. Recent studies have shown that the social interaction provided by structured and unstructured community-based sport has a positive impact on social cohesion and mental wellbeing. Providing multi-sport opportunities at community venues also increases job creation and job pathways.

Tennis is a sport for life, with participants ranging in age from three to 93 years old. It has gender equity, as it is played equally by men and women and it provides many health benefits, including improving cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.

Tennis is also a key economic driver in the community with the estimated economic benefit from events delivered through the redeveloped facility valued at a minimum of $2.3 million annually.

The significant capital works program will provide an estimated $20 million injection into the local building industry and create the equivalent of 100 full-time jobs ? at a time when the industry is slowing down.

The new business model will create an additional 60 FTE jobs at the centre, as the expanded operations will require an increase in local staffing.

It will also be an economic driver for the region, unrivalled, as the quality of the venue will surpass anything in the area. It will also be utilised as a training and competition venue for the NSW South Eastern region, as well as complimenting the facilities at the AIS to service national elite athlete programs.

The redevelopment has been aligned to the specifications recommended in the ?Tennis 2020, facility development and management framework for Australian tennis? and is part of Tennis Australia?s Regional Tennis Centre program.

Improvements to the infrastructure will allow for these services to expand beyond the region and there will be a focus on establishing international training camps to service Asia.

This international expansion will foster greater athlete development through foreign competition, while also providing a greater economic benefit to the region. The high-quality facilities and services provided by the NGCA leisure facility will complement this approach and provide for complete athlete development services. These packaged services will also be promoted to recreational players, expanding the market for these types of programs.

The NGCA facilities will provide a significant upgrade of the leisure facilities currently offered and provide for a more family friendly environment. The family oriented club will offer unrivalled facilities and services in the region, and will promote healthy leisure activities for the entire family. This high quality service business model will also attract additional economic benefit through the creation of additional jobs and attract interstate and international visitor spend.

The facility has significant community support for its redevelopment and over the past 12 years has had various proposals for its development, all of which have received strong community support. There is an increased focus on the delivery of community tennis services and programs with the redeveloped facility and it is expected that this approach will strengthen the existing community support.

The ACT Government announced significant funding towards the redevelopment of the facility in 2008, highlighting the need for the facility to be upgraded to a more modern standard and the Tennis ACT business model to be strengthened through such a redevelopment. As conceptual planning and business modelling has progressed, the ACT Government has supported TACT?s partnership with NGCA and has targeted funds towards the tennis-focused redevelopment of Block 12.

All major stakeholders have been consulted and have confirmed their support. These include: ACT Government, Sport and Recreation Services, Squash ACT, Tennis Australia, Tennis ACT and all of its affiliates, including community tennis clubs. Support has also been received from neighbouring businesses and residents, including Hockey ACT, residents of the neighbouring Sanctuary residential development, Yowani Golf Course and the ACT Netball Centre.

Broader public consultation will begin shortly as part of the established lease variation and development application process.

The Fixer: Beat the car insurance blues

Dear Fixer, My 21-year-old son is keen to pass his driving test. He has saved up for driving lessons, which he has already started. However, he also wants me to take him out in my car ? with him driving ? so that he can practice between lessons and improve more quickly. I have a VW Polo, so it is not a bad car for him to learn in. But I am not sure how to go about insuring him on my car without it costing me the earth. I could add him to my insurance policy, but his age and lack of experience means that is a very expensive option. My insurer, Churchill, has offered to add him as a named driver for the remainder of my 12-month policy, but wants an extra ?500! It is also insisting that the excess we pay towards any claims made as a result of his driving rises to ?650 ? even though the excess on my policy is only ?200 at the moment. I want to help my son, but adding him to my insurance simply costs too much to be a viable option. Is there another way to insure him on my car for less? N Barber, Oxford Dear Mrs Barber, The high cost of car insurance for young drivers is a big problem, one that prevents many teenagers and 20-somethings getting behind the wheel. However, you cannot allow your son to drive your car without insurance ? not only is this against the law, it could be financially crippling if he was involved in an accident. One option that is worth looking into is short-term car insurance lasting for up to 28 days. It should prove cheaper than adding your son to your annual policy because it does not last for as long. You can also rest assured that any claim made on the separate short-term car insurance policy will not affect your own no-claims discount. You can compare short-term insurance policies from specialists including Dayinsure as well as traditional insurers using a comparison website such as MoneySupermarket. If you think you will need cover lasting more than 28 days for your son, meanwhile, it is also worth checking out pay-as-you-go policies that can run for one, two or three months. Remember, though, that your son is still likely to face high insurance premiums after he has passed his test ? whether he gets his own car or drives yours. The Fixer Whatever your financial problem, write to themoneyfixer@aim.com and The AOL Money Fixer will get on the case. More stories

Designing tiny molecules that glow in water to shed light on biological processes

ScienceDaily (Aug. 15, 2012) ? University of Miami scientists have developed a way to switch fluorescent molecules on and off within aqueous environments, by strategically trapping the molecules inside water-soluble particles and controlling them with ultraviolet light. The new system can be used to develop better fluorescent probes for biomedical research.

Previous studies have used water-soluble particles to bring organic molecules into water. What is novel about this system is the use of a photoswitching mechanism in combination with these particles.

The findings published online by Chemistry-A European Journal, describe the creation of a fluorescent photoswitchable system that is more efficient than current technologies, says Francisco Raymo, professor of chemistry at the UM College of Arts and Sciences and principal investigator of this study.

"Finding a way to switch fluorescence inside cells is one of the main challenges in the development of fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications," Raymo says. "Our fluorescent switches can be operated in water efficiently, offering the opportunity to image biological samples with resolution at the nanometer level."

Fluorescent molecules are not water soluble; therefore Raymo and his team created their system by embedding fluorescent molecules in synthetic water-soluble nanoparticles called polymers that serve as transport vehicles into living cells. Once inside the cell, the fluorescence of the molecules trapped within the nanoparticles can be turned on and off under optical control.

"The polymers can preserve the properties of the fluorescent molecules and at the same time assist the transfer of the molecules into water," Raymo says. "It's a bit like having a fish in a bowl, so the fish can carry on with its activities in the bowl and the whole bowl can be transferred into a different environment."

The new system is faster and more stable than current methods. The fluorescent molecules glow when exposed simultaneously to ultraviolet and visible light and revert back to their original non-luminous state in less than 10 microseconds after the ultraviolet light is removed.

By using engineered synthetic molecules, the new system is able to overcome the natural wear down process that organic molecules are subject to when exposed to ultraviolet light.

"The system can be switched back and forth between the fluorescent and non-fluorescent states for hundreds of cycles, without sign of degradation," Raymo says.

The surface of the system can be customize to help it attach to specific molecules of interests, thus allowing researchers to visualize structures and activity within cells, in real time, with a resolution that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.

Raymo and his team will continue improving the properties of the molecules for future biomedical applications. The study is titled "Fast Fluorescence Switching within Hydrophilic Supramolecular Assemblies" Co-authors are Janet Cusido, Mutlu Battal, Erhan Deniz and Ibrahim Yildiz,Ph.D., students in the Department of Chemistry at UM; and Salvatore Sortino, associate professor of chemistry in the Department of Drug Sciences, University of Catania, Italy. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation.
