COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 20121. Wembley Community Centre UsageAn analysis of WCC usage (bookings) in 2011/12, by existing classification confirmed thefollowing;User Group No. of Bookings %Community 670 38.75%Activity 462 26.75%Function 7 0.5%Commercial 0 0.0%Seniors (HACC) 589 34.00%(Excludes the Playgroup & Kitchen as both areas are leased)According to the above analysis, the WCC attracted minimal commercial and function (private)usage. The lack of commercial bookings may be explained through a comparative analysis ofthe 'Commercial' room hire fees and room sizes.Table 1 compares the WCC and The Boulevard Centre room size against hire fee for both theAgency and Commercial Rates and exposes the poor 'value for money' aspect of the WCC.Table 1 shows that the WCC rooms compare reasonably well at Agency Rate, however, itappears that the WCC Commercial Rate is over priced, especially for the smaller rooms.Table 1: Boulevard Centre Rooms Verses Wembley Community Centre Rooms(2011-2012 fees)TBCROOMSIZESq MtrActivityandAgencyRateCommercialRateNorthRoom 156sqm $56 $93LakesRoom 52sqm $33 $54OceanicRoom 40sqm $23 $37WCCROOMSIZESq MtrActivityRateCommercialRateMainHall 168sqm $34 $104DiningRoom 127sqm $31 $92ActivityRoom 56sqm $29 $84.50PlayGroup 62sqm $26 $78CraftRoom 37sqm $28 $79BoardRoom 23sqm $26 $73Commercial RateIt is evident from Table 1, and the fact that the WCC did not record one commercial booking forthe entire year, that the Commercial Rate is over priced. However, by setting more reasonablehire charges for Commercial hirers, there is an opportunity to attract an increase number ofcommercial users.Not for Profit Agency RateThe new Not for Profit Agency Rate is a combination of the Old Community Rate and ActivityRate. The fees set out in Table 2, are a net increase for Community users and a net decreasefor Activity users.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\C CR.DOCX 111
