Tahunanui Beach facilities Debate

Economic Benefits - Revenue

Option 1

Residents expressing support for Option 1 argue that the current facilities are adequate and suggest that any new development should include revenue-generating components, such as private hospitality venues, to justify the expenditure. They are concerned about the feasibility of the Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club raising the necessary funds in the current economic climate. Additionally, they highlight the risk of increasing debt without a clear strategy for income generation or job creation, emphasizing the need for financial prudence.

Table of comments:

Point No	Comment
749.7	Surf life saving doesn't play enough of a role for the rate payers to build them facilities. What is existing works fine unless you were to put/ rent out private hospitality venues at it
987.7	We are in an incredibly difficult funding environment for Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club to raise this level of funding. Increases in debt which do not have a plan for income generation or job creation do not seem worth it in the current financial environment.
