ALFA sprouts up as aquatic peak body

The formation of a national peak body for the Australian aquatic industry looks likely to go ahead.
 

The body, drawn from WA’s LIWA Aquatics, Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) and the various Aquatic and Recreation Institute (ARI) bodies in NSW, SA and Tasmania, will be called the Australian Leisure Facilities Association (ALFA).

 

ALFA’s aim will be to lobby federal government in conjunction with the State bodies, and promote the aquatics sector as key in getting the community involved in physical activity. The State bodies will remain in place and continue to deal with State authorities. The nuts and bolts of the arrangement are still being worked out, but SPLASH! understands there is a general consensus that the formation of ALFA should go ahead in the very near future, for the benefit of the industry as a whole.
