The financial models were to be supported by an accompanying Catchment and Market Analysis Report which was to inform each different scenario in the modelling.
The financial model for each option forecast the projected operating revenue and expenditure for a period of 2, 5, 10 and 20 years after opening to assist Council in determining a payback period if the project was to be funded through commercial borrowings.
