Under the recommended agreement both clubs would lease the pavilion for five years at a rate of $290 a year plus GST.
The agreement would also allow two rights of renewal for another five years, the final expiry date to be in June 2040.
Cromwell Senior Football Club president Shane Norton spoke in support of the lease at the meeting’s public forum on behalf of Cromwell Junior Football Club president Simon Peake.
The junior club had doubled in size over the past five years and both the junior and senior teams had collaborated well over the past six to 12 months, to the benefits of both clubs, he said.
The Alpha Street Pavilion shared lease agreement with the council would be a positive move as it would allow the clubs to perform some much-needed repairs on the building, such as lighting and hot water.
"We see a lease agreement as a critical requirement for the maintenance to occur."
At the full council meeting on July 30, the CCB’s recommended lease of the Neplusultra Recreation Reserve’s bike park to Cromwell Bike Park Inc was ratified by the council. The previous lease was up for renewal.
The new lease will cost the Cromwell Bike Park $1 a year over 15 years and there is the option to renew it for another 15 years.
