(3) It is proposed that the Gungahlin Leisure Centre will be constructed directly by the ACT Government and remain a government asset, with the management functions carried out under a contract arrangement, in the same way as the four other swimming pools operated by the Government. The contract will be determined through a public tender process.

(4) (a) The responsibilities of the centre’s management entity will be set out in detail in the management contract, which is yet to be developed. This aligns with the other four Government swimming pools i.e the management entity will be entirely responsible for the day to day operation of the centre, subject to the Government’s stated objectives and broad policies established in the contract, and the contract’s detailed terms and conditions.
