Caravan & Camping Industry Association NSW’s Post

A key message here is captured in the byline: "..travelling between rural towns is not accessible for low-income families without a car." Not being able to get to a pool is one thing, but how about not being able to get to groceries? As lower tier municipalities like the Municipality of South Huron update their official plans, strong consideration needs to be given to ensuring any new development in rural villages includes amenities that support complete and walkable communities - or shift that new development to centers that have those amenities. Same for natural spaces: we need to ensure nature is accessible to all. County of Huron

Great to work with Matamata-Piako District Council on this project ensuring a cost-effective solution was provided to enable year-round aquatic provision to continue in the district. As a region, like many across the New Zealand, the Waikato suffers from aged infrastructure (average age of community pools are 45+ years with school pools being 60 years) and limited suitable year-round provision to aquatic spaces highlighting that extensive planning is needed to ensure we have adequate aquatic space to meet the needs of our future generations. This will take time and significant investment; therefore, we must ensure we continue to maintain current provision, especially in communities like Matamata where community pools are a fabric of the community and usually the only spaces where our children can learn lifelong lessons such as water safety.   https://lnkd.in/dNx4maJf

The 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 project is now officially complete, and we’re proud to have played a key role in its development. At Smartscape Connected Lighting Systems, we were responsible for the supply and commissioning of the intelligent lighting control systems across the entire site. This included a fully networked control solution—no area was overlooked. From community spaces to plant rooms, every part of the facility is connected, offering seamless and intuitive control including, blinds, louvres and fans. We also went above and beyond by creating detailed, custom documentation, outlining the functionality of each room and control panel, making it easy for operators to manage the space. The facility now benefits from a centralised master control system, streamlining the management of lighting throughout the entire centre. While this timelapse showcases the exterior of the project, we’re looking forward to sharing internal photos soon, which will highlight the lighting control systems and their functionality in action. A big thank you to the 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 technical team, BADGE Constructions and the City of Gold Coast for their collaboration on this amazing project. It’s been a pleasure to be part of such an important community development! #LightingControls #Smartscape #PalmBeachAquaticCentre #GoldCoast #BuildingExcellence #Teamwork

Where are the places few have heard of but where everybody wants to live? With more than 6,000 villages in the UK of every shape, size and situation, there’s a community out there for anybody looking for life on a smaller scale. How do you find the one that’s right for you? This list should be a useful starting point, highlighting 20 villages that aren’t well known across the country but are always in demand among those in the know

It will be interesting to keep tabs on this project as the New Year begins. Northgate Resorts and Camp FIMFO have some big plans for this park if they can get approval. #wcm #woodallscm #outdoorindustry #outdoorrecreation #outdoorhospitality #rvparks #rving #camping #campgrounds #glamping

Coastal pathway already changing lives https://lnkd.in/gyhErR87 Cyclists, rollerbladers, walkers and community advocates have come together to mark the official opening of the newest section of the North West Coastal Pathway. Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing and Liberal Member for Braddon, Roger Jaensch, said the pathway is already proving popular with locals and visitors alike. “The North West Coastal Pathway will ultimately run continuously all the way from Wynyard to Latrobe, and every time we close a gap linking sections together we get closer to that vision,” Minister Jaensch said. “The Tasmanian Government provided $13.86 million for the most recent portion of the project, between Cooee and Wynyard, which involved construction of the pathway itself as well as significant works to protect the pathway corridor from future erosion.  “The coastal pathway does more than offer active transport across 110 km and five council areas, it also helps people to come together socially to exercise and enjoy being physically active outdoors with friends.” Minister Jaensch thanked Burnie cycling advocate Keith Price for being the community driving force behind the project, which has taken more than a decade to come to fruition.

The NSW Government has just completed and released the results from their #Moore #Park #Golf #Course redevelopment study. The fully engagement report is at the link below. This is a highly contentious issue, as the general community fully supports converting a large swath of the current golf course to a #parklands, whilst the golfing community is not supportive in any way. It would appear that it is going to happen. I am fully supportive of any opportunity to provide more #public #open #space for the community, and not have it allocated for one specific user group.

Great feature on Ocaquatics Swim School's transition to employee ownership under Miren Oca's leadership! I love seeing business owners in industries where PE has been increasingly active choose to pursue employee ownership as their exit strategy, prioritizing their people, customers and community. Check out more about Miren's story below.
