Sport & recreation feasibility studies

Test demand, operating models and financial assumptions before investing in a new facility, expansion or program.

A feasibility study should help your organisation make a decision: what is needed, which options are workable and what it will take to operate sustainably. Adlis Advisory supports councils, sporting organisations and facility owners considering indoor stadium, aquatic, recreation and fitness projects.

Connect community demand with a workable model

Participation aspirations need to be considered alongside available space, competing facilities, pricing, staffing and the cost of delivering services. We bring an operational perspective to testing how these assumptions fit together.

Questions the study can address

  • Who would use the facility or program, and when?
  • Which activities and program mix best respond to identified needs?
  • What operating and management models should be considered?
  • What revenue, staffing and other operating costs should be allowed for?
  • How sensitive is the model to demand, pricing and cost changes?
  • What risks, dependencies and further investigations affect the decision?

Practical outputs for decision-makers

An agreed scope can include a demand and stakeholder review, options assessment, operating model, financial scenarios and recommendations for the next stage. Assumptions and evidence gaps are made clear so that a promising concept is not mistaken for a guaranteed result.

Where specialist capital cost, engineering or technical input is needed, it can be incorporated from the relevant project advisers.

From feasibility to delivery

Greg’s background in multi-site sport and recreation operations informs the assessment of program mix, workforce requirements and ongoing costs. Once a preferred option is established, facility planning support can help translate the findings into a functional brief and practical delivery priorities.
