Councils licensing Gyms and other Recreational Facilities in Australia

Long over due ...

There is a need regulation for gyms and probably licensing in the same way Swimming Pools are regulated - it's time for Public Private Partnerships to get involved in recreation!

There's far too many:

martial arts, boxing, dance, fitness gyms, female gyms, weights gyms, fit circuit, etc ... 

Where they should all be SHARING and facilities and hence accessing rent subsidies ~ 

It doesn't make sense to pay for a wholly private facility when you ARE a public facility!

This could also go a way in making gyms a family friendly environment; 

Banning overt steroid use or very loud music for example ...

NB: Tennis Courts are also included

And yes Microsoft is the master of PPP (Public-Private-Partnerships) !!

The Australian Antarctic Territory will crop up again!

• Will inevitably come up again as … a final frontier vs. landing on the moon
• UK designated Australia large Antarctic Territory – near Australian Continental Shelf etc … 
• UK is still disputing it’s Antarctic Territory with Argentina
• Therefore is likely to attract Commonwealth Government spend in the future …

Australia is as customary, very fortunate ~
Whilst these countries operate research stations unlike Australia they do not have an explicit Territory as such:

• China
• India
• South Korea
• South Africa
• Russia
• Brazil
• Germany
• And others 

 

 

Newsagency of the Future

 

Can the Newsagent survive if everything they sell is …

• Out of Date
• Not competitive with other stores.
• …

The Newsagent must evolve if it is not to disappear!

• Newspapers (available Online)
• Stationary (no longer competitive)
• Greeting Cards (social media etc …)
• Magazines (electronic distribution)
• Lotto and Travel Passes have online alternatives
• With declining customer base even harder to cross sell complimentary products etc!!

These things are really disappearing!

• Calendars
• Diaries
• Gift Wrapping

 

Newsagents (& Computers) means new Products:

• Expanded Scanning and Printing Facilities
• Convenient Supplies (Readily Available)
• Ink Cartridges & Toner
• Smart Phone Batteries
• A4 Paper
• USB Keys and Flash Drives
• Skype Gift Cards etc …
• Gift Vouchers etc …

 

But a Physical Presence is useful even if they no longer sell physical copies!

• Rent Newspaper Space to Newspapers
• Rent Magazine Space to Publishers
• Rent Lotto Space to Lotto Corporation
• Rent Greeting Card Space to Printers

Innovative Newsagents

• News agencies (& Similar) could develop labs for new product Offerings

 The Post Office needs to sit down and have a similar think!

I think they can in part as scanners and printers become (more) ubiquitous!
