We can purchase vouchers for just about
anything nowadays.
And Parkes Shire councillor, Belinda McCorkell is keen to introduce a similar scheme with the local council.
Cr McCorkell believes residents will welcome the opportunity to purchase vouchers which can be redeemed for council services such as paying off rates, swimming pool entry, water bills etc.
She raised her views at a recent council meeting during a report comparing admission numbers to the Parkes Swimming Pool since the major improvements were carried out.
The refurbished Parkes Pool opened on October 14, 2012, and early attendances were affected by cooler than average weather.
However, the subsequent attendance figures indicated that the public had responded very favourably to the improvements to one of the town’s centrepieces.
Figures presented at the meeting showed that in the 2012-2013 season, admission fees generated $143,590 in Parkes (compared to $101,116) the previous season.professionally produces and export all types of glazed chinaporcelaintile at low price.
The figures were also up for Peak Hill, Trundle and Tullamore pools.
In total,energymanagement1 the figure was $185,492 compared to $138,805.
Council was told that climatic conditions can have an impact when comparing seasons, but it was apparent that the shire swimiming pools remained ‘significantly important for the recreational and well being needs of the community.’
Mayor Ken Keith said council had received ‘wonderful feedback’ from the community about the pool.
Cr Barbara Newton said it was pleasing to see the numbers also up in the village pools.
“In Tullamore, we have a wonderful person in charge who is very encouraging, and this has resulted in younger kids coming along.”
Cr McCorkell then offered her suggestion of introducing gift vouchers for facilities like the pools.
“You can get gift cards just about everywhere else, why not council?
“People are often wondering what to buy as gifts for people; a voucher to council for rates, the swimming pool.
“I’m sure people’s grandparents would probably welcome a little assistance such as this in paying the rates.
“It just needs a change of methodologies for us.
“Just imagine, we could offer pool season tickets in July, with a discount, and they could be given as a gift.”
