Horsham is a city, centrally located in the Wimmera and next to the Grampians National Park and the famous Mount Arapiles. It is 300 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and 450 kilometres south-east of Adelaide. With a population of over 20,000 people, the municipality is the retail, business and service centre of the Wimmera.

Horsham Rural City Council (HRCC) is committed to providing and supporting the development of recreational and sporting facilities. With this in view Council assisted the Committee of Management to develop a new facility Development Strategy for Coughlin Park.

The Councils of Victor Harbor and Alexandrina commissioned SGL to prepare a business case for a proposed indoor aquatic centre at Hayborough, on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula.  The business case was then used to attract substantial Federal Government funding for its construction.

Frankston City Council (FCC) is planning to build a major regional aquatic leisure centre to meet the needs of its residents and surrounding regional population. Detailed design and costing indicated this centre was likely to cost $46.350M and as this was well beyond the financial capacities of Council to fund SGL was commissioned to complete a funding strategy that aimed to attract up to 50% of the development cost from other sources.
