2. Review of Minutes from 29 November 2015

Caleb Fidler highlighted how last year’s youth action group was content with the work that they had done and what they had achieved. However, they would have liked to improve on advertising, engaging activities and recruiting new YAG members earlier in the year.

Alicia asked how the selling of the rest of 2015’s YAM shirts went. Caleb Maru said that there were still about 15 shirts left over. Mayor Ryan suggested that we could sell the shirts as a collector’s item this year.

3. Youth Action Group Recruitment

Caleb Fidler pointed out that there were quite a few in attendances, but the group is losing all of last year’s members, with the exception of Ruby, Jonah and himself.

YAG Meeting - 2/2/16 Page 2 of 4

Ruby, Max, Tyler and Uiysse are leaving in June/July of 2016.

Councillor Kudrenko asked about the age range of the group. Caleb Maru said that it is 15 - 25.

Matt asked about what is being done for kids under the age of 15. Caleb Fidler said the focus was those above 15, as those under 15 may not be too interested in joining the committee. However, he also said that he would welcome younger members to the group, so long as they were mature/committed.

Mitch clarified that events are open to those classified as youth, 12-25, while the YAG is open to those that are 15 - 25.Caleb invited those in attendance to bring along anyone who was interested in joining YAG.

Youth Action Group Aspirations for 2016

The 2016 Youth Action Group decided to have the same mission and vision statements that were used in 2015.

Caleb Fidler would like to see the awareness of the YAG improved. He stated that not many people know who YAG are, so by the end of 2016 he wants young people to know about YAG's presence in the community.

Caleb Fidler suggested that the group becomes more involved with the local schools.

Caleb Fidler told the new members about the events that were done last year, stating that they would be done again this year. He then asked if the group had any ideas for new events.

Leon said that the events from last year already consumed a lot of time and resources, so 2016’s YAG should just focus on improving them and the town’s awareness of the group.

Mayor Ryan suggested that the YAG both posts in school newsletters and sends YAG members, who have just graduated, back to their schools to advertise the group so as to improve awareness.

Caleb Maru suggests that the group also focuses on being the voice of the Youth of Alice Springs, as the group has direct contact to Council.

Ruby suggests that the group comes up with creative ideas to spread awareness about issues in Alice. One suggestion was films in the phoney film festival. Kevin suggested sending surveys to schools, to find out what issues the youth of Alice Springs are dealing with.

Tyler suggested that the group try increasing their Facebook influence.

National Youth Week

Caleb Fidler spoke about how during last year’s National Youth Week, YAG hosted the Recycled Art Prize and Movie Marathon.

YAG Meeting - 2/2/16 Page 3 of 4

Caleb Fidler suggests the group puts in their own piece of Art.

Leon said the group should have first, second, third and people's choice as the prizes for this year’s Recycled Art Prize.

Councillor Kudrenko suggests that the Todd mall is used for a pop up gallery, last year this was a great success, due to its exposure.

Mayor Ryan suggests putting some of the art for sale, if the artist was open to this. This would require a catalogue that states the price for which different pieces are selling.

Caleb Fidler mentioned how the Library was partnering with YAG to put in recycled art pieces.

Caleb Fidler stated that last year's movie marathon was not very successful, due to both movie choice and advertising and suggested showing movies that are fairly new, so that people are more attracted to the event.

Ruby suggests showing a classic and a new release that appeal to a wide audience.

For advertising ideas, the group suggests posters, but also sending someone to schools to talk about their upcoming events.

Uiysse suggests putting up posters in stores that attract Youth, eg. McDonald's.

6. Future Meeting Times

Future meetings will be held at 5:30, Tuesday during the 3rd week of the month.

7. Other Business

Councillor Kudrenko notes that the two females that are on the group are leaving and the group should look at finding more female members to fill the demographic.

Caleb Fidler, Caleb Maru and Ruby know of 5 other females that are lined up to join the group; however they were unable to attend the meeting.

Councillor Kudrenko encourages the youth to come to Council Chamber on the 3rd last Monday of the month to see what Elected Members are doing for our community.

Tyler asked about how involved the group is in charity.

Mayor Ryan suggested that clean up Australia day would be a good activity for YAG.

Caleb Maru stated that community involvement is very important and helped to raise the town’s awareness of the group.

Caleb Maru suggests doing profiles on YAG members, which can be posted on Facebook, once again to increase the town’s awareness.

REPORT



AUTHOR: MANAGER ALICE SPRINGS AQUATIC AND LEISURE CENTRE -MARTIN KEMPLAY

SUBJECT: ALICE SPRINGS AQUATIC AND LEISURE CENTRE REPORT FOR JANUARY 2016

REPORT SUMMARY

January continued to demonstrate very high patronage trends with over fifteen thousand visits to the centre. The third annual Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown on Australia was extremely successful and members of the Alice Springs Pool Lifesaving team represent the Northern Territory in the Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships. Remediation plans for failed tiling in the indoor centre have been confirmed and contingency plans developed to ensure minimal community impact whilst the works are in progress. Cryptosporidium was detected in the indoor leisure pool by independent laboratory testing.

TOTAL MONTHLY ATTENDANCE

Total attendance for the month was 14,968 which is a 72.9% increase upon January 2015's total of 8,653 which highlights the impact the closure of the indoor leisure pool (due to tiling failure) has on ASALC and the community.

Total financial year to date attendance is tracking at 95,902 compared to 82,498 for the period July to January 2015, which is a 16.2% increase. Key contributors are the learn to swim program, school visits, membership visits, and casual adult and child entries.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

The learn to swim program for Term 1 remain very high with over 500 students enrolled. The Term was originally shortened to 5 weeks with the expectation that the indoor centre would be closed in March for remediation of the tiling failure. The term has now been extended to the full 10 week program with 70% of places filled at this time for the extended period. The multifaceted recruitment strategy continues with 3 more learn to swim teachers joining the team with one relocating to Alice Springs from Adelaide and 2 completing their training here in Alice Springs, filling the void left by the loss of 7 teachers. The next challenge is to increase the number of infant qualified instructors to accommodate the rapidly growing community demand of learn to swim lessons for children aged 6 months to 4 years of age.

Aqua aerobics continued strongly with a variety of programs on offer including traditional, deep water, high intensity interval and combat classes.

Our vacation care program had 710 attendances over 24 days in January. Following the success of the program, plans to expand the program with afterschool programs to begin in term two are underway. Options to obtaining a licence to be able to offer government provided rebates are being investigated which will make the program more affordable and accessible to the community.

The Health and Wellness Centre returned in late January after a brief sabbatical, with an expanded program delivering pivotal services to the community including: Keep You Moving (falls prevention renamed to be more inclusive), Lift for Life, Small Group Training and X-Train.

The annual series of summer splash parties which provide much needed youth activity engagement concluded on January 16 successfully with over 300 attended the event.

ASALC hosted its third Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown on Australia Day. With over 800 patrons enjoying fun for all ages including the Atlantis, Hamster Wheel, Log Runner and waterslides and a crocodile water play park for those under 6 a sausage sizzle and of course the countdown aired throughout the centre in its entirety.

USER GROUPS

• 6 members of Alice Springs Pool Lifesaving club represented joined Darwin members to represented Northern Territory at the Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships on January 16. Petina Franklin of Royal Lifesaving Society has built the squad up to 30 members over the past four years and provides a popular alternative for those who wish to continue developing their swimming and aquatic survival skills after completing the learn to swim program but are not interested in competitive swimming and training.

• The Alice Springs Triathlon Club continue to host events that generate great interest and engagement within the community. They resumed their season on January 31 with a Womens and Children triathlon.

SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION

Network connectivity issues continue to prevent reporting on this month’s solar output. An inverter still requires replacement and once recommissioned, the network will again be established. All data dating back to November will be obtained and reported.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance for the month of January includes plumbing repairs to the shower tunnel cold water tap, a leaking toilet in the female indoor change rooms and a leaking tap in the outdoor female change rooms. More repairs are scheduled in the coming month with leaking showers and taps reported.

A trend is appearing with pumps, servicing the indoor centre, requiring major service after 5 years of operation. 25m pump number 2 has been repaired and reinstalled, Leisure pool pump number 1 has been repaired and reinstalled and boiler pump number 1 has been repaired and installed all within the last two months. 2 soda ash pumps have also been removed for repairs.

Heliocol have been engaged for a service and repairs to our solar heating system.

The electrical fault preventing the circulation pump for outdoor Toddler splash pool from operating still persists. Electricians are continuing to diagnose and remedy the fault.

Other regular maintenance includes:« Regular backwashing of filters« Regular maintenance of dosing equipment• Regular monitoring of gauges and chemical levels o Grounds maintenance• Mowing and weeding» Regular cleaning of scum lines, tiles and stainless steel 9 Regular water quality checks, balancing and chemical dosing

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM

ASALC was approached by health inspectors in January reporting cases of Cryptosporidium in Alice Springs. Australian Water Quality Centre were immediately engaged to test samples from all pools at ASALC. The indoor Leisure pool resulted positive for Cryptosporidium.

Following guidelines for Cryptosporidium management, on the 28th of January the Leisure pool was immediately closed to the public and “hyperchlorinated” for thirteen hours at 20 parts per million of chlorine, followed by chemically rebalancing. The Leisure pool was closed to the public for 27 hours in total during the management process. A notice to public was issued also on this day.

To avoid further instances of Cryptosporidium infection a regular schedule of “hyperchlorination” and biological testing will be implemented. Furthermore, educational posters will be placed in all bathrooms.

TILING

Whilst the remediation works to repair the failed tiling in the indoor Leisure pool are carried out in March, contingencies to ensure equitable opportunity for access for ail users of the facility is maintained including.

® The indoor 25m pool temperature will be raised to 30 degrees Celsius to maintain the comfort and wellbeing of all patrons including infants, the elderly and the rehabilitating.

» Staircase entry will be installed in the indoor 25m and outdoor learn to swim pools to ensure safer and more accessible entry

e Platforms are being procured for the indoor 25m to enable young children to stand in the deeper water during learn to swim lessons.

of 6

• Covers will be placed on the outdoor 50m pool overnight to reduce heat loss for the comfort of lap swimmers.

WATER QUALITY

Water quality testing was conducted 4 hourly as per Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (GSPO). Pool tests are conducted and logged at 5:30am, 9:50am, 1:00pm and 5:00pm.
