Strong and well-thought-out facility development is a crucial part of long-term improvements to your local health, sport and leisure outcomes. At FMG Consulting, we’re experienced in taking great ideas and turning them into deliverable concepts. Whether you’re exploring options, planning a new build or looking to maximise the use and efficiency of existing facilities, we can help. Our facility development arm gives you the insights and strategic direction required to help you move forward with confidence. 

From Concept To Reality

Delivering a new leisure or sporting facility is a big commitment and one which demands clarity around viability, impact and return on investment. That’s where we come in.

Our work focuses on answering questions such as what should we build, where should we build it, who will it serve, what are the capital and operational costs and will it deliver measurable social and economic benefits.

We provide a clear plan of action, from understanding local demand to identifying whether the new facility or proposals are viable. Our insight helps you gain access to government funding, avoid costly missteps and make the right decisions for your community.

With facility development there is no one-size-fits-all approach and each project must be considered on its individual and unique merits. Every client, every community and every facility is different.

We know project budgets, time constraints and capacity can be major concerns. Our experienced consultants are here to guide you through each step, typically in one to six months depending on the scope.
