What benefits will the Summit Precinct provide?

Council estimates the fully developed Summit Precinct will create 250 jobs and attract over 650,000 visitors in its first year, growing to over a million annually within a decade. Visitors will come for sporting events, recreation, holidays, conferences, and special events. With facilities like the Summit Sports and Recreation Park and Summit Aquatic and Leisure Centre, the Precinct aims to become a top destination for tourism, recreation, sport, and entertainment.

The site will also cater to more activities for families and the children and youth of our region through structured and unstructured recreation and leisure activities.  This is in response to a call from our community for more activities for our young people to engage with within our region.  We heard this through the survey results of our annual Community Scorecard, and it is also a key action arising from our Child and Youth Action Plan.
