<strong>COUNCIL</strong> MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013CR13.8SURF CLUB BUILDING AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT - BUILDINGFOOTPRINT AND BUDGETPURPOSE <strong>OF</strong> REPORT:To advise Council <strong>of</strong> a request from the City <strong>of</strong> Perth Surf Lifesaving Club to increase the size<strong>of</strong> the surf club building and recommend a course <strong>of</strong> action in that regard.BACKGROUND:Council had previously made the following decisions in relation to the Surf Club building andcommercial development at City Beach:That:• the <strong>Town</strong> would contribute $4.5m (24 July 2012 - CR12.106 refers);• the enclosed area <strong>of</strong> the surf club leased space be 1,610 m 2 (25 September 2012 -CR12.145 refers); and• the schematic design was approved (23 October 2012 - Item 10.4 refers)A notional construction budget for this space was determined at that time as $5.85m, inclusive<strong>of</strong> fees and contingencies but excluding allowance for the surf club's fixtures, fittings andequipment (FF&E).Two separate grant funding applications were submitted, one by the <strong>Town</strong> for CSRFF fundingfor the project and the other by the Surf Club from Lottery West. The outcomes <strong>of</strong> these grantapplications were recently announced and were successful.DETAILS:The CSRFF grant was approved at $950,000 as was the Lottery West grant <strong>of</strong> $950,000.Combined with the <strong>Town</strong>'s commitment <strong>of</strong> $4.5m demonstrates that secured funding <strong>of</strong> $6.4mcould be used for the construction and fit out <strong>of</strong> the surf club building.At the time <strong>of</strong> the original budget being prepared, the Surf Club indicated that their FF&Ebudget would be $370,000; combined with the building cost <strong>of</strong> $5.85m bringing the overall costto $6.22m, which is less than the secured funding. The Club has commenced its ownfundraising scheme and believes that they can secure a further $500,000 in funds bringing thecombined funding to $6.9m (ie $680,000 above needs).On this basis, the Club has written to the <strong>Town</strong> and requested that the building be expanded bya further 180 to 200 m 2 to be funded from the excess funds available (Attachment 1 refers). Toassess the impact <strong>of</strong> this on the building design, two concepts have been prepared showinghow the additional space could be allocated. Attachment 2 refers. At this time, the cost <strong>of</strong>these options is being finalised and will be provided prior to consideration <strong>of</strong> this report byCouncil.The <strong>Town</strong> has recently completed a further costing exercise on the project, based on updatedinformation and schematic designs. The current estimate for the surf club component <strong>of</strong> theproject is as follows (which includes fees and contingencies):H:\CEO\GOV\<strong>COUNCIL</strong> MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\C CR.DOCX 154
