Holstein receives award for leisure centre

Gosford Cr Chris Holstein has received an award for the Peninsula Leisure Centre on behalf of Gosford Council for "Excellence in Local Government Property".

The award was made at the Australian Property Institute (API) NSW division Excellence in Property awards program in Sydney recently.

Council and Tompkins MDA Architects received the Local Government Award for "the contribution the Peninsula Leisure Centre (PLC) makes to the local community".

Mayor Cr Laurie Maher stated that "the award represents significant recognition for this fabulous community facility that caters for the health and recreational needs for everyone in the community".

"The PLC offers a wide range of classes through its various spaces including the gymnasium, indoor courts, and leisure pools, including a hydrotherapy pool with accessible access.

"The centre provides generous outdoor recreation space for the community to enjoy.

"An astounding 335,000 people have enjoyed the facilities since the PLC opened its doors."

The award follows on council's receipt of the NSW Water Safety Award.

Council won the award due to its "extensive range of initiatives including the Water Aware, Sea Aware, Indigenous Surf Days, Lifesaving Courses, Baby Massage, Edogawa Sister City Surf, National Youth Week, and Billabong Girls Get Out There Day programs".
