The Queenstown Events Centre is seeking public input for its master facilities plan (MFP).

The MFP is a total review of the centre by Lakes Leisure, noting what members of the community who regularly use the facility want to change.

Lakes Leisure chief executive Fiona McKissock said there was insufficient space at the centre to give all members the opportunity to participate in the sport or recreational activity of their choice.

"As the council moves into its long term plan process, it is imperative that the issues around supply and demand for sports and recreation facilities, and the potential solutions to these issues, be considered now," she said.

"The council neither supports nor opposes the content of the MFP, but it does fully support Lakes Leisure in our public consultation of the document.

"It is essential that the wider community is given the opportunity to have their say."

Lakes Leisure will collate feedback and present it to the council for consideration for the long term plan, which runs from 2012 until 2022.

Once drafted, the plan would outline any provisions made for community sport and recreation and this would also be publicly consulted on by council in early 2012.

The feedback and consultation process closes on Friday, December 9, and will be integral to the planning process.

People are invited to attend drop-in sessions at the centre for questioning.

Drop-in sessions will be held on Tuesday, November 29, 5-6pm, and Monday, December 5, 9am-10am.

Alternatively, the plan can be viewed and feedback forms are available at QEC and the Council's Gorge Rd offices.
