2026 will be our second year implementing standardised Facility and Field Charging that was enforced on to all sporting codes by Tauranga City Council.
Council owned facilities that are leased by clubs are now charged at a standardised rates and are under further review. In addition to this.
This also sees all clubs having to hold certain kinds and levels of insurance and be responsible for any land rates, power, internet, cleaning, pollution and continued maintainence and any repair sto the leased acilities. The bigger the building, the more one needs to recover.
The lease we hold on the clubrooms is in conjunction with Papamoa Cricket Club, so not ours in its entirety. Invariably we have minimal rights in the summer period which is defined as 1 October to 31 March.
Again in the 2026 season, we will also see Tauranga City Council charge sporting codes for field use. The charging mechanism adopted by TCC is solely charged on Senior use, however the club has made the decision to proportion this cost accross its entire membership base as everyone uses the fields. The charge to seniors is a greater portion than, for example minimoas, as seniors require more use (training and games versus just a game)
Cost Recovery on Clubrooms
The club has continued to implement a cost recovery model for 2026 of the clubroom to quantify the total operational costs required to run a season. The 3 seperate operational areas are Minimoa, Community Junior/Youth and Senior. Each area of the club should ideally achieve cost recovery so as not to burden other areas of membership.
The set facility and field charges will be shared by all members with specific operational costs being assigned to each area, using the facility at a particular time. Fundamentally the more the clubrooms are supported by each area, the cheaper they become to run.
