Res. #
By -Law #
It is respectfully recommended to the Newcastle Community Services Advisory Board:
1. That Report CS -26 -87 be received for information.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
As requested by resolution of Council and subsequently by the Advisory Board, I
offer the following information to serve as an update on the status of the new
arena.
Site: The site of the new arena has been selected and approved by council.
The town has purchased a parcel of land (approx. 22 acres) on the North -West
corner of H.wy. ##2 and Regional Road 57 to serve as the location-of the new
arena.
Consultant: A call for proposals related to the design and construction of the
new arena was issued in September of 1986. After lengthy discussions and an
interview process, it was decided to engage the firm of Phillips Barratt and
Kaiser as the Town's Consultants for the new arena.

Conceptual Design : In January of this year, our consultants submitted four
seperate designs of arena facilities for selection. Council approved in
principle a design which incorporated a 1400 seat arena, an outdoor skating
rink (artificial ice), a Multi Purpose Facility which would have a capacity of
350 people (seated at tables), and four softball diamonds to be located on the
westerly portion of the property.
Preliminary Design: At this point, our consultants were directed to prepare
the preliminary design of the facility. This design, was presented to council
at the March 16th. meeting of the General Purpose and Administration Committee
and approved in principle. The consultants were then requested to prepare a
preliminary budget prior to council's authorization of the preparation of the
detailed design drawings.
Preliminary Budget: A cost estimate summary (attachment #1) was prepared and
submitted to the General Purpose and Administration Committee for approval.
The cost estimates were approved in principle and authorization was given for
preparation of the Detailed Design Drawings.
At present, the detailed design stage is in progress. I have also enclosed a
schedule of target dates (attachment #2) which leads to the contractor award in
early September of this year. I trust this brief recap of events will serve
for purposes of information as requested.
