Xyst supported Smartz in its review of the pool that is operated by Sport Northland and CLM, by providing the asset management element of the project.
The Review was commissioned by Whangārei District Council (WDC) with support from Sport Northland, and in liaison with Community Leisure Management (CLM). The review was not a formal full-service delivery review as defined in section 17a of the Local Government Act 2002. However, it followed a similar approach and was intended to inform WDC and Sport Northland for future decisions relating to the Whangārei Aquatic Centre.
The approach taken was to investigate all relevant documentation, interview stakeholders, conduct a site visit and commission independent reports in relation to asset condition and asset management. All findings were analysed to determine key issues and opportunities and a set of future options were assessed to determine the preferred approach to ownership/governance/management into the future.
