The only logical scenario is the Leisure Centre is a ruse to generate council funds following the Lehman Bros farce.

Furthermore, I have watched the Moss Vale tennis courts expand in not only facilities and attributes, but in the varying amount of people who are, and did, use the facilities. Never in my 19 years of going to this sport facility would I ever worry about the car park or main entry into the courts ever be threatened to be sold off...quite pathetic!!!!

Traveling 35minutes after school to swim is too much for me as one of my children has 'special needs'. I would like to see Mittagong Pool fixed and covered. This is an extremly large Shire the proposed Leisure Centre would discriminate against those in outer lying towns. Smaller centres in different locations would be better.

I have lived in the area for 33 years and the situation with every council is still the same all talk and no action it is about time the council either puts up or shuts up at what they are going to do. I just hope our new counsellors don't fall into the same trap.

The idea is good, but this current plan doesn't work. Paricularly, it doesn't take into account established business with which it may be in competition nor does it provide facilities that shall attract users. It needs consideration in terms of SH Tourism potential and the add-ons this may bring.

Many of our towns have an appropriate 'leisure' swimming pool. But there is no dedicated professional performance centre for the arts, which could include gallery space, etc.

We are more and more setting ourselves up as a great big retirement village, which means there is no future no jobs, no economic growth - we need something people will travel for that will create jobs - try a mini Sovereign Hill but with just the old world village bit and an old day fair and carnival - something that is unique - another gym?..your kidding.

It is important to keep our open spaces and not destroy the parks and reserves, which are constantly used by the residents. The fertile land which surrounds Sydney has already been overdeveloped with housing unfriendly to the environment ( large houses on small blocks, huge demands on air conditioning, no public transport, loss of farming land ) - why do we need to join this thoughtless type of development ?

I am particularly opposed to selling of 'public' land for the sake of a few bucks.
