Variation to Lease - Boston Sports Association Inc

Project Overview

The City of Port Lincoln invites community feedback on a proposed variation to the Lease with Boston Sports Association Inc of Poole Oval. Pursuant to Section 202 of the Local Government Act 1999, the City of Port Lincoln Community Land Management Plan No. 1, and Public Consultation & Community Engagement Policy 2.63.1, the Council seeks public comment on the proposal to add a 10-year right of renewal to the lease (plus inclusion of Special Condition 22) held by Boston Sports Association Inc.

Special Condition 22:

The lessee must make changerooms, public conveniences and supporting carparking constructed on the Premises available to, and co-operate with, other community groups who use the broader facilities, as Council may direct from time to time. Council will, where reasonably practicable to do so, provide notice of such access and ensure that times of use do not conflict with regular use by the Licensee such as during game times etc.

The Boston Sports Association Inc has leased Poole Oval (Crown Record Volume 6018 Folio 141, Allotment 302 Matthew Place, Port Lincoln) since 10 April 2015. The lease was renewed in January 2024, extending it until 31 December 2033, with no further right of renewal. However, following a succcessful grant application and investment in new changerooms and carparks, the Association has requested an additional 10-year renewal option be added to the lease.

If exercised would commence 1 January 2034 and expire 31 December 2043, subject to the additional Special Condition 22 (with all other conditions remaining unchanged).

Council seeks community comment on this proposed variation to the lease before making a decision from Thursday, 3 April to Wednesday 30 April 2025, 10am.

Further details on how to provide feedback can be found below.
