Infrastructure and ROI Considerations for Padel Courts in Australia Building Padel courts requires careful consideration of return on investment (ROI) and usage. Costs vary by country due to different building codes and environmental factors. In Australia, the cost is particularly high due to stringent building codes. When retrofitting tennis courts for Padel, key considerations include: Footings: 1. Requires concrete cutting for footings around 12mm tempered glass. 2. Excavation and pouring of footings are costly. Structure: 1. Larger and stronger welds and steel members are needed to ensure code is met Costs vary by location, with higher expenses in regions like North Queensland and North WA due to severe weather conditions. All sports, especially rapidly growing ones like Padel, should be planned with a realistic view of ROI and usage. High infrastructure costs can be a significant deterrent. This raises an important question: Will Padel tennis in Australia match the global growth trend, or will the high infrastructure costs make other sports like POP tennis and Pickleball more viable options? Understanding the costs of infrastructure and usage, revenue, and sports participation is crucial for successful and sustainable sports facilities. #padel #poptennis #entrepreneurship #strategy #sports #projectmanagement #leadership #innovation #SaudiArabia #facilitymanagement https://lnkd.in/gtfhkwhU

When Greg Sample and his business partner, Scott Corley, purchased Pure Flats in 2021, they faced a critical supply chain challenge. The detailed work required to finish manufacturing the company’s flagship fishing bait, the “Slick Lure,” created a bottleneck, slowing the production process and making it difficult for Pure Flats to scale their business. A search for a logistics partner who could efficiently address this bottleneck led Pure Flats to the Bobby Dodd Institute.

High density, services and public open space around mass public transport stops makes complete sense but how it’s done requires careful thought and scrutiny. The Rosehill Racecourse proposal by the Australian Turf Club calls for up to 25,000 new dwellings. This equates to 40+ One Central Park (16+34 storey) towers in an area roughly equivalent to the University of Sydney. That’s a huge number of towers in a relatively small area. Where will the school, green streets, bike paths and open spaces fit? How many of these new homes and streets will receive sunlight in winter? Is 40+ towers realistic and if not why is this number being publicly floated? It’s essential that we do more than just address the immediate problems of supply and affordability. We need to do density better and discuss sensible targets. Doing better means ensuring community benefit, liveability, amenity and high quality public open spaces for current and future generations.

Ah, the garage – a space that starts with grand ambitions of housing your car, but often ends up as a dumping ground for everything from old sports equipment to forgotten holiday decorations 📦😅 If your garage has become a black hole of chaos, fear not! With a bit of planning and a touch of elbow grease, you can transform it into a well-organized haven. We shared some practical and achievable tips for decluttering and organizing your garage in our latest blog post - give it a read here ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02ffhZy0

25,000 homes on the site of Rosehill racecourse is a very good number. For comparison the 2015 Sydenham-Bankstown upzoning proposed 35,000 homes across *10* stations. This is the kind of ambition we require to build ourselves out of the housing crisis. One thing missing from this is any sort of value capture - if ATC is making $5b from this station being added then they need to make a huge contribution to the metro or other public infrastructure. https://t.co/4C2RCiVMyX

Astonishing progress for Oklahoma City and a well articulated present and future vision from Robert Culverhouse of the Oklahoma City Parks Department. This video may be behind a paywall. So here's a transcript. “So right now we’re at the future Deep Fork Trail. It’s about 4.3 miles, and this is the phase one portion of the trail. The Oklahoma City Trail system is almost 100 miles of multipurpose trails. The end goal is for for it to be a little over a hundred miles where residents can get on at any section of the city and end up right where they started if they were to go around the circumference of the city. Trail systems are a great way for local residents to get out and explore their area, what around them, and even get to their office, their business without having to use vehicles if they wanted to use an e-bike or a bicycle. They can get on a trail system and safely get to their destination. It’s also a great way for people to recreate. We’re always trying to get our residents to live healthy lifestyles and enjoy the recreational opportunities around them. There’s nothing better than getting on the system and riding five to ten miles and turning back."  https://lnkd.in/gTzK-b9z
