Resolution detail
Motivation:
The Brackenfell Sports Grounds have facilities for tennis, netball, cricket and rugby and are over utilised and too small for the current demand. It is the only sports complex for the Ward 102 and Ward 8 area.
I therefore move that:
The Subcouncil take the following decision in order to address the situation and accept the motion as ease.
-
That the Recreation and Parks department provide a report answering the following questions:
-
The precise facts regarding this informal group of soccer players?
-
Are they from the Ward 102 (Brackenfell Area)?
-
Are they self-organised or club based?
-
What is the policy in respect of informal sport in the City on formal sports facilities? Should the Subcouncil should accommodate this group of players, where will the department suggest they be accommodated.
-
That the department investigate alternative space as “pockets” for informal sports and recreation.
-
What has been established in the policy for accommodating informal sports?
-
What forward planning is there for more sports facilities in the Ward 102 area.
-
That a letter be written to the Ed both of Recreation and Parks as well as the Mayco Member requesting that they investigate the need for an informal sports facility in the Brackenfell area.
-
That the department investigate the preferred piece of land along the Frans Conradie Road, opposite the Millennium Centre that belongs to Province as well as National and start with the process of enquiring with the other spheres of government.

The Subcouncil 2 Manager informed the meeting that a letter
was forwarded to ED: E Sass and to Mayco member Z Badrodien on the 8th October 2020 in respect of the above mentioned motion to find a sports facility. She indicated that she did not receive feedback. Cllr R Bresler informed the meeting that the idea is not only to find a soccer field. He stressed that he was flooded with enquiries on the same incidents within the parks. It seems as if residential parks are now targeted for playing sports. He requested an urgent response on the matter The chairperson commented that this problem is not only in Ward 102 and is across the Subcouncil as she notices with most open ervens it is use for informal sports codes due to the lack of accommodation for all sports codes as the sports fields. Ald M Nieuwoudt informed the meeting that there are two angles with this motion. (1) The need for informal facilities where sports codes can play sports. (2) This is an organised sports whereby the codes intend to have tournaments. RESOLVED unanimously by Subcouncil 2
