Typically the municipality has a responsibility to ensure that the development or refurbishment of aquatic facilities is feasible, and can be sustained over the first five years of operation. In an ideal situation, the stakeholders, community and municipality would work collectively to create a summary report. Each municipality is different and in some case the stakeholders might need to develop the initial components of a report to demonstrate the need for a sport friendly pool.
