Xyst supported Smartz in its review of the pool that is run by Sport Northland (SN) and Community Leisure Management (CLM), by providing the asset management element of the project.
The Review was commissioned by Whangarei District Council (WDC) with support from SN, and in liaison with CLM. The review was not a formal full-service delivery review, as defined in section 17a of the Local Government Act 2002, but followed a similar approach and was intended to inform WDC and SN 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 and management in the future.
