Leisure Facility Management ZAA242
Unit delivery is subject to sufficient enrolment numbers.
Introduction
This unit investigates and evaluates the management of contemporary leisure facilities. Areas of exploration include planning and designing a leisure facility for sport, recreation, or active leisure purposes, staff management, asset management and maintenance, risk, scheduling, and operations. This will include ensuring the alignment of infrastructure with the goals of the organisation and contemporary facility design. Important to this unit is the role of the manager in the operations of the facility and the knowledge, skills, attributes required.
This unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.
You will be introduced to:
- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences
- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice
- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.
You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual.
