  5.3           Community opportunities for business development

Aim
    * Council's goals are respected and where possible community opportunities for business development are supported under the plan.

Background
During the life of the first plan Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited, the commercial arm of the Council, entered into a contract with the Director to provide a number of services in the park (including road maintenance, cleaning services and operation of the entry station). The company was disbanded at the end of 2010 and its functions are now undertaken by the Council. The development of further agreements covering a wider range of park management activities is envisaged over time. This approach represents one significant contribution to the Council's sole management goal.

Under the Lease the Director has, subject to the plan, a specific obligation 'to encourage appropriate business and commercial enterprises by the Council and Community members within the park'. During the life of the first plan the Council indicated its interest in using the Botanic Gardens as a base for developing business activities and in taking a greater role in management of the Botanic Gardens. This approach is consistent with the Council's goal of environmentally sustainable development as an economic base for the Community. Options for achieving a staged transfer of management responsibility have been discussed by the Director and the Council during the development of this plan and will be further developed as the plan is implemented.

Issue
    * Support for business and commercial enterprises needs to be effective and feasible.
