2. Review of Minutes from Tuesday 19 July 2016Tyler moved the minutes forward, Rebecca seconded the motion

3. Phoney Film RecapAll of the YAG members in attendance were impressed by the calibre of films in this year’s Phoney Film Festival. Although the night was successful in regards to atmosphere and attendance it was pointed out that it lacked the numbers seen in 2015. This was felt to be the result of the amount of events that were on on that night (4 large scale events) and the fact that it was held on the Friday of a long weekend. To improve attendances in 2017, it was agreed that the night needs to be more focus on promoting the premiere night.Mayor Ryan suggested using the Community Forum to advertise this and future events like YAM Fest.

4. YAM FestBee discussed the scavenger hunt and supplied some new ideas for YAM Fest.Matt suggested the use of props for pictures that are being taken for the Polaroid gallery. Additionally, he provided the idea of guess the lollies in the jar, which was

then locked in by the rest of the group.Leon discussed how Clontarf are now to be heavily involved on the day providing music, stalls, art and they will supply all the food for the festival. He also mentioned that he will be contacting the Girls Academy to see if they would like to be involved. Tyler discussed more options for the music component of YAM Fest suggesting a band from CSC called Juice.The YAG began planning to set up for Night Markets in order to promote YAM Fest. This would include an interactive piece at the stall, as well as attention grabbing material like the sheep and Tyler’s aerosol art door. The TV screen will also be set up to play the YAM Fest promo video on loop.Mayor Ryan suggested a dunk tank and a projector that plays the Phoney Film Videos on loop.Rebecca had the idea of a basketball hoop or more simply, get the ball into the target, as it is a simple idea that can draw attention.

5. Instagram YAG pageYouseff spoke about his idea of a YAG Instagram page, which would not only promote YAG ideas but also other youth organisations and other local youth events. For example, this could include Caleb Maru’s Aware Project, which gives Youth the opportunity to share issues that they are experiencing or think are overlooked.

6. YAG PromotionCaleb discussed promotion of YAG at the Careers expo, focusing on how some Youth were interested in YAG and their activities, but are just too shy to commit to the meetings.The YAG decided that when promoting for 2017 after YAM Fest, each YAG member should reach out to at least one person and encourage that person to bring along a friend, so that the experience isn't so daunting.Rex mentioned that it would be good to make sure that there is diversity in regards to gender, ethnicity, religion, etc and for people who are a part of the LGBTQI community.

7. Other BusinessRebecca suggested a Youth Forum, or planning meetings that allow you to talk about issues that are both global and in the community, both to raise awareness and come up with potential solutions to Youth issues.Caleb said that it would be vital to have people who can actually provide solutions at a forum, otherwise people could leave more disinterested than when they came in. Therefore, it may require in-depth planning and could be more appropriate to look at after YAM Fest.

REPORT SUMMARY

The outdoor pools are readied for the summer season beginning 1 September 2016, enrolments for Term 3 Learn to swim push past 400, seniors are offered free entry and access to programs for a week during Seniors Month and the Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre hosts the NT Short Course Championships.

TOTAL MONTHLY ATTENDANCE

The total attendance for the month of August 2016 was 8250 which is a 63.17% increase from July 2016 total of 5,056. The August attendance is lower than that of August 2015 however still trending upward from previous years. The main factor for such high attendance in August 2015 was the number of term 3 school swimming bookings which accounted for 2402 of the 10470 visits in that month, whereas many of the schools have returned to booking for term 4 in 2016 which is completely booked to capacity.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Learn to Swim

August has proved to be a solid month with the Swim & Survive Program. Lessons have been running daily from Monday to Saturday, with sessions held throughout the day.

This month we had 401 students booked in to attend lessons compared to the same period in 2015 which had 382 bookings.

This is a good result as we are still competing with other Winter sports and it is indicative that the community are using the Indoor facility as a sporting venue during this colder period.

The increase in the bookings has been mainly in the area of the Under 5 age group with the assistance of the Water Safety Awareness Program Voucher scheme and Learn to Swim Vouchers.

The Alice Springs & Aquatic Leisure Centre is now the Provider of the Emergency Care Sessions as well as the Water sessions so the scope of service we can provide to families has increased.

We held two sessions in August with a total of 15 parents attending. These families are now currently booked into the Learn to Swim Program.

SchoolsCentralian Middle School Girl’s Academy, Living Waters and KITES Sadadeen have regularly attended Learn to Swim sessions this month and will continue for the rest of term. The Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre have employed five new casual Program Instructors to assist with the busy months ahead with Araluen Christian School and Ross Park Primary Schools joining in next month.

Seniors WeekFor the first time the Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre offered free swimming lessons to seniors for the last week of Seniors Month. This was in conjunction with free entry and access to all programs held at the Centre during this week. It has proven to be a great success with two seniors now enrolled in the term program. The feedback has been very positive and the Aquatic & Leisure Centre is proud to be part of this Council initiative.

NT Short Course ChampionshipsThe NT Short Course Championships were held in August for the first time over the weekend of the 19th - 21st, whereas in the past years the event had been held in May. The event ran smoothly and the Alice Springs Swimming Club participants performed very well with a combined haul of 127 medals of which 70 were gold. More importantly to the coach of the club lain Jones was that there was a 70 per cent strike rate of personal best times.

As it has been requested by the Alice Aussi Masters Swimming Club that the Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre provide more quality food options for the Alice Springs Master’s Games Swimming events in October, the opportunity was taken to trial an Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre prepared food menu during the NT Short Course Championships. The trial proved to be a great source of information to be able to successfully cater for the Masters games including how the menu was received by the public, stock control and the logistics and staffing requirements to provide effective service of the menu.

USER GROUPS

An Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre user group meeting was held on Tuesday 23rd August with representatives from the Alice Springs Swimming Club, the Alice Springs Triathlon Club, the Alice Aussie Masters Swimming Club and by phone, Royal Lifesaving Northern Territory.

Royal Lifesaving• Royal Lifesaving Norther Territory held a Teacher of Swimming and Water Safety

course was held at the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre on the 6th and 7th August.

Masters Games having purchased their own starting system and provided a number of requests to the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre. We will continue to work with the Alice Aussie Masters Swimming Club to provide the best experience for swimming participants at the Masters games. The Alice Aussie Masters Swimming Club have also

MAINTENANCE

The 50m pool has had extensive works this winter with David Ashley Tiling replacing all cracked and broken tiles, re-grouting the entire pool and replacing all damaged inlet nozzles along the centre of the pool floor. It has been ensured to us that the 50m pool will not require any more major maintenance for a further 5 to 10 years.
