Theme 8: Sport and Venues

Highlights • A new Commonwealth Games Park housing over 90% of the competition and training venues within a single cluster – one of the most compact Commonwealth Games concept designs ever developed • Competition and training venues within the Games Park are no more than 1.2km from the Games Village and the three off-site competition venues are no more than 35km away

• All new competition venues will be financed and owned by the Government, guaranteeing venue use and control • The competition schedule provides depth of competition across 17 sports to stimulate interest in the Games at a local, national, regional and international level • High quality venues, competition schedule and a festival atmosphere will provide the best possible opportunity for athletes to excel, whilst optimising broadcast and media opportunities to enhance the Commonwealth Games brand

• All planned competition venues will be developed by 2016 allowing a comprehensive test event programme, including the 2016 South Asian Games and providing Commonwealth Games Associations with the opportunity to benefit from the use of the venues through the Athlete Training and Development Support Programme

• All permanent venues have a clear legacy brief, integral to delivery of the Ministry of Sports new seven-year Strategic Plan and with a long term Sports City vision to create a ‘new venue for world sport’.

Q8.01 Based on the options for the Commonwealth Games Programme use table 8.1 to indicate:

The schedule is informed by previous Commonwealth Games and seeks to maximise spectator attendance and global television interest. It covers two weekends on which medals in the core Commonwealth sports of athletics, swimming and rugby will be won. There is also a spread of medals throughout the 11 day schedule to maximise and maintain interest for the duration of the Games, culminating in the final weekend.

• Dates and days of competition (by sport/discipline) • Type and level of competition – including selected options for Para-Sports events to be integrated within the programme. See Q8.18 for more information.

• Opening and Closing Ceremonies

Designed with effective operational delivery in mind, the capacities; co-location of sports in competition venues within the compact Commonwealth Games Park (the Games Park) and transport infrastructure have all been carefully considered.

Competition schedule

The 17 sports have been selected to maximise competition and interest in the Games at a local, national and international level.

• Finals (by sport/discipline) • Total gold medals awarded each day and for each sport/discipline

Hambantota’s competition schedule is based on meeting all the expectations of athletes and officials, International Federations (IFs), Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs), broadcasters and spectators. It aims to provide athletes across all sports with the best possible experience during the Games, through appropriate scheduling, to help them achieve their optimal sports performances.

If Gymnastics was to adopt age limits and rules of the Youth Olympic Games, inclusion of the sport within the programme would require review and further discussion with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).

Hambantota’s sport and venue strategy Hambantota’s bid is unique in that all but three of the competition venues are in a single cluster – the Games Park – which also houses the Games Village and training venues for most sports. This means that the majority of athletes will have to travel no further than 1km from the Games Village to their respective competition or training venue.

This compact concept also provides reduced overlay, transport, security, technology and workforce costs, whilst delivering benefits to the athletes, officials, the Games Family and spectators.

Each venue will provide athletes with a high quality competition and training environment to facilitate optimal performance, whilst also addressing the needs of officials, the Games Family and spectators.

The Games Park cluster will stage the entire sports programme apart from the Shooting, located away from the Games Park due to logistics and safety implications; Triathlon; and Cycling (Road and Time Trial). All these events will be located approximately 35km from the Games Park in a second cluster in Tissamaharama (the Tissa cluster).

Tissamaharama is a culturally significant town that dates to the third century BC. It is being restored as a historic heritage city and will be the cultural capital of the Southern Province. Tissamaharama is also one of the hotel clusters (as detailed in Theme 12) with many spectators staying in this area.

All competition venues apart from the world class Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium (which opened in 2011) are new build and form part of the overall masterplan. This masterplan has used best practice principles to ensure that each venue has a clearly defined legacy brief and is only a permanent venue if there is a proven long term legacy need. All the competition venues, apart from the Velodrome, will be developed regardless of the outcome of Hambantota’s bid.

Aspects such as event-related transport and security requirements are fully integrated in to the design.

This is a key benefit that will facilitate efficient and cost effective operational planning for the Games.

89

Competition venue overlays have been planned in accordance with CGF guidelines and in consultation with IFs. A unique spectator experience The masterplan for the Games Park is designed around two main axes designated as boulevards. These boulevards provide pedestrian-only access to the venues and open plazas surrounding them. They provide a central thoroughfare and hub of activity for spectators. The boulevards will be lined with entertainment, concessions and design elements such as water features, to generate a festival atmosphere for the 125,000 spectators expected to visit the Games Park on an average day.

This atmosphere will be facilitated by a Live Site, with entertainment and big screens in the open plazas creating an exciting buzz for athletes and spectators alike.

Convenient access to training venues The training needs for all sports are met by a temporary Training Village, adjacent to the Games Village, combined with additional training provision at some competition venues, and an athletics track, indoor sports facilities and 50m pool in the Games Village.

Designed with legacy in mind The masterplan proposals fit with the District’s long term development plans, and ambition for Hambantota to become an economic hub, one of five metro cities in Sri Lanka and a new venue for world sport as described in Themes 1 and 5.

The masterplan will be integral to delivery of the Ministry of Sports new seven-year Strategic Plan. All planned venues will be ready by 2016 for the South Asian Games and will also provide world class venues for use by CGAs as part of the Athlete Training and Development Support Programme.

A brief summary and images of each competition venue is set out over the following pages. A full set of block plans is contained in the Block Plan File.

Venues (existing) Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium opened in February 2011 and staged two matches during the ICC 2011 Cricket World Cup. The stadium was completed, from design to construction and fit out, in only 14 months.

The current capacity of 34,300 (20,000 seated) will be increased to 60,000 prior to the ICC T20 World Cup in 2012, reinforcing the stadium’s position as the premier cricket venue in Sri Lanka and as an excellent ‘anchor’ facility within Sports City.

It will provide a stunning location to commence and conclude the Games, hosting spectacular Opening and Closing Ceremonies. It will also stage Archery during the Games, with seating for 2,500 provided predominantly as temporary overlay.

Athletics Stadium A new purpose-built Athletics Stadium, with a Gamestime capacity of 40,000, will be developed by 2014 and used in 2016 for the South Asian Games (2016 SAG). During the 2018 Games, it will stage both Athletics and Rugby 7s.

Temporary overlay will accommodate the two days of Rugby 7s competition within the athletics in-field, providing a high quality playing and spectating environment.

The Athletics Stadium will provide a high quality competition venue for athletes to excel in one of the Games’ showcase sports. The venue will be fronted by a central landscaped plaza, with large screens and concessions to provide a gathering space for spectators.

There will be a warm-up track and jump/throw areas adjacent to the Athletics Stadium, with direct and secure access into the competition area. The warm-up track will be retained in legacy mode which, combined with the Athletics Stadium, will provide the premier athletics venue in Sri Lanka for national, regional and international events.

There will also be an athletics track in the Games Village for training.

Post-Games, the capacity will be reduced to 25,000 to provide a multi-purpose stadium suitable for hosting international, national, regional and local events for athletics, rugby and football. Regional sports federations for the Southern Province will be housed within the Athletics Stadium, making it the regional centre for sport. This new 25,000 capacity stadium will be developed regardless of whether Hambantota’s bid is successful.

Hockey Stadium The Hockey Stadium will be an iconic venue, providing a purpose-built venue for Hockey during the Games.

Developed by 2014, two new full size synthetic hockey pitches will be built in accordance with FIH/CGF requirements, with associated changing and spectator accommodation.

At Games-time, the main pitch will have a spectator capacity of 5,000, with 2,000 temporary seats for the secondary pitch.

Post-Games, the venue will provide a lasting legacy as the new home for the Sri Lanka Hockey Federation.

It will be developed regardless of whether Hambantota’s bid is successful and have a viewing capacity of 2,500.

International Aquatics Centre The International Aquatics Centre will comprise two 50m ten-lane swimming pools and a 33m x 25m diving pool.

An iconic building will provide a stunning landmark at the southern access to the Games Park.

The project is due to commence in 2012 and will be completed by 2014 in readiness for the 2016 SAG. It will therefore provide a tried and tested world class competition venue and high performance environment for athletes.

Spectator capacities for the swimming and diving pools will be 5,000 and 2,500 respectively, reflecting the popularity of aquatics in Sri Lanka.

As there are currently no indoor 50m swimming pools or diving facilities within Sri Lanka, the International Aquatics Centre will be retained post Games to become a centre of excellence for swimming within the Southern Province.

It will be a key venue for the Sri Lanka Aquatics Sports Union to host international, national, regional and local events. It will also provide opportunities for all to participate, from elite level to learn to swim programmes, and will be an integral part of Sports City’s role as a new venue for world sport.

Post-Games, the Multi-Sport Complex will provide a much needed multi-purpose flexible venue suitable for a range of indoor sports such as badminton, 5-a-side football, netball and volleyball, with an integrated health and fitness centre and amenities such as a food court, retail and public library.

The Multi-Sport Complex will also house the new National Sports Museum, which will showcase Sri Lankan sporting achievements as an inspiration for future generations.

This will be the only multi-purpose indoor sports centre in the District and a key recreational sporting facility for the 8,000 residents on-site including students of the new sports university. In legacy mode, the lawn bowls greens will be used as either formal outdoor sports pitches or green space to complement the indoor sporting provision.

Construction will start in 2012 and will be completed by 2014.

Its flexible design means it can easily be transformed, through overlay, into a world class gymnastics venue that meets FIG/CGF requirements, with an easy transition from gymnastics to the netball finals.

Construction of the 5,000 capacity venue will start in 2012 and be completed by 2014.

Post-Games, as a multi-purpose arena, it will accommodate entertainment, sporting, cultural and music events – an important leisure and entertainment hub for the resident community.

Velodrome If Hambantota is selected to stage the Games, a new Velodrome will be built within the Games Park. This will be the only velodrome in Sri Lanka and will be a permanent facility, completed by early 2017. The velodrome will meet all UCI and CGF requirements and will provide a high quality cycling environment.

Following the Games, the Sri Lankan Cycling Federation will use this venue as a catalyst to develop the track discipline of the sport. There is significant interest and participation in road cycling and this interest will be harnessed, using the new Velodrome, to develop track cycling.

Main Media Centre The Main Media Centre (MMC) for the Games will combine the Main Press Centre (MPC) and International Broadcasting Centre (IBC), thus providing a more costeffective solution with respect to shared facilities.

Located close to the media accommodation to the north of the Games Park, it provides a highly convenient, easily accessible and fully equipped facility to meet the needs of the media.

In legacy mode the MMC building will be incorporated as part of the Business and IT Park.

Q8.09 Regarding permanent construction and/or Games Overlay, for each organisation (e.g., OC, government) that will manage a tender for the construction of permanent or temporary venues, explain the tendering process, including major phases, timelines, protest and appeal procedures, environmental impact assessments and details of the possibility of foreign companies submitting tenders.

Is this process subject to any standing laws, codes or regulations by the city, region, country or other organisation? Is there a preparedness by government to amend existing legislation or adopt new legislation to allow for the “fast tracking” of Games developments in order to meet Games planning and staging requirements?

Hambantota’s bid to host the Games is unique as it provides a catalyst for the development of a new Sports City in Hambantota. All except one venue (the existing Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium) will be a new build.

All planned venues are due for completion between 2014 and 2016.

In developing the Sports City concept, extensive masterplanning has taken place to ensure a development that fits with the long term development plan for

(if applicable)

the District, as set out in the Greater Hambantota Development Plan.

The Government will be responsible for the tender for construction of all permanent venues. The procurement of temporary overlay works will be the responsibility of the OC. For each venue, standard Government procurement processes will be followed in line with the National Procurement Agency’s (NPA) Government Procurement Guidelines 2006 (the Guidelines).

The NPA was established under Presidential directive and the Guidelines enhance the transparency and consistency of the Government procurement process (through adherence to prescribed standards and the provision of fair opportunity for interested parties). The Guidelines maximise economy, timeliness and quality of procurement resulting in the financially most advantageous and highest quality solution. These Guidelines are applicable to all procurements, irrespective of the source of funding i.e. whether it is financed in whole or in part by the Government.

All funding must be in place and committed prior to the commencement of the procurement process via the appointment of a Procurement Committee (PC) and Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC).

In addition, the Procuring Entity must confirm to the NPA that it has: • Carried out initial environmental examination (IEE), environmental impact assessment (EIA), social impact assessment (SIA), and any other such procurement preparedness activities relevant to the project • Completed land acquisition and resolved compensation, re-settlement issues, including relocation of utilities and such other matters which are necessary for the uninterrupted implementation of the project.

For the Sports City project, all venues will be funded by the Government and the land is owned by the Government.

Theme 8: Sport and Venues

Tendering process

Foreign companies International Competitive Bidding (ICB) may be used when the capacity of the domestic contractors, suppliers and service providers are limited. However, in the case of works contracts and in view of the development of domestic construction industry, the possibility of slicing the contract and following a “slice and package approach” to suit domestic contractors is often considered.

The Procurement Entity is required to give international publicity to the procurement notice in various media to ensure maximum competition. This will include advertising in one widely circulated national newspaper; relevant websites where possible; internationally, such as in Development Gateway’s dgMarket; and via invitations to embassies and trade representatives of countries from where suppliers and contractors are likely to participate.

Major phases The procurement process comprises the following phases: If applicable, Limited/Restricted International Competitive Bidding (LIB) procedures may be followed when the • Pre-qualification (PQ): Invitations are advertised in at invitation to bid is directly addressed to a pre-selected least one widely circulated national newspaper, on the list of international or national suppliers or contractors.

NPA website and other relevant websites for National In Procurements under ICB, bidding and contract conditions Competitive Bidding (applicable for most Government have equal application to both domestic and foreign bidders, funded projects). The PQ phase assesses the capacity except in complying with the requirements of ICTAD and capability of, and financial resources of, bidders registration and domestic preference criteria for local bidders. to deliver the contract tender.

• Issue of bid documentation: Standard bid documentation is sent to pre-qualified bidders for them to develop their proposals. The standard bid documentation may be amended to reflect the specific requirements of the project.

There will be significant input from the OC to ensure that Games-time operational requirements are met, the Sustainable Games Procurement and Practices Policy is adhered to, and venue-specific legacy briefs are delivered.

• Bid evaluation: Bid submissions are evaluated by the TEC against a set of pre-defined criteria to determine the best value for money bid. Once the preferred bidder is selected, there will be a period open for appeals following which the contract will be awarded.

Timelines Whilst there are reasonable time periods (dependent on the value of the project) for the procurement of construction contracts outlined within the NPA Guidance, these time periods may vary with the complexity of the construction. For projects with a value of more than LKR 3,000 million (circa GBP 15 million) the estimated duration is more than 200 weeks for feasibility (75), procurement (60) and construction (100).

The bid documentation issued for the Sports City will include detailed project plans, which will ensure that all planned venues are delivered by 2016. This is well ahead of the Games to allow for a comprehensive test event schedule including the 2016 SAG. The Government also has the capacity to accelerate the process via a Standing Cabinet Appointed Procurement Committee as detailed below.

VOLUME 2 Theme 8 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

Appeal and protest procedures As detailed within the NPA Guidelines, the Secretary to the Line Ministry will, within one week of being informed of the preferred bidder recommendation, inform the unsuccessful bidders in writing to make their representations, (if any) against the recommendation/intention to award the contract to the successful bidder, to the Procurement Appeal Board at the Presidential Secretariat.

Any representation of the bidders must be submitted within one week of the bidder being informed of the decision and be self-explanatory to enable the Appeal Board to arrive at a conclusion. After investigating any representations, the Appeal Board will submit its independent report to the Cabinet of Ministers and the Secretary of the Line Ministry. The report will provide their reasons for endorsement of the decision; or for rejecting the decision together with their independent recommendation of contract award.

Fast-track procedure In extraordinary situations, a Ministry may submit a Cabinet memorandum, specifying the special circumstances, which require a deviation from the general procurement procedures, and may seek Cabinet approval to appoint a Standing Cabinet Appointed Procurement Committee (SCAPC) indicating the limits of Procurement.

A SCAPC may be justified where expeditious processing of Procurement is necessary. The ‘fast-tracking’ of Games developments in order to meet Games planning staging requirements would be considered as such an extraordinary situation. This approach was successfully implemented to ensure the completion of the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in less than 14 months.

Q8.11 Describe the existing local and regional utility grid and generating plants and their respective status and capacities.

Can the existing distribution system supply the anticipated Commonwealth Games demand in terms of load and reliability? If not, what improvements are planned?

Theme 8: Sport and Venues

Electrical power

Games-time load demand Anticipated load during the Games will be supplied through an enhanced network. As part of the overall development of the Southern Province there are ongoing enhancements planned to meet the increased demand.

These enhancements include: • The provision of a new 132kV grid sub-station in Suriyawewa (approximately 2km from the Games Park).

This sub-station will meet the peak load demand (estimated at 25MW) during the Games.

As one of the leading nations in South East Asia, currently 90% of the Sri Lankan population has access to the electricity grid. As a result of Rural Electrification programs, the entire population will have access to the national network by 2012.

• An overall grid design that will ensure dual feed from two distant power stations for greater reliability.

Sri Lanka’s electricity sector is governed by the Sri Lanka Electricity Act No. 20 of 2009 and the Public Utility Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) Act, No. 35 of 2002.

Q8.12 What will be the process for obtaining additional power beyond the capacity of the local system from other sources?

The government-owned electrical utility Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) is predominantly responsible for electrical generation and transmission, with distribution split into four major geographical divisions, governed by the CEB’s General Manager.

Sri Lanka’s transmission system comprises 350km of 220kV lines, 1,722km of 132kV lines and 53 grid substations. The development and strengthening of the transmission and associated grid substation facilities are of paramount importance to meet the growing energy demands over the next decade.

The demand for electricity is around 8% of current capacity per annum and this is estimated to increase in line with the anticipated increase in post-conflict economic activities, particularly tourism.

The improvement to the transmission system is mandated by the Electricity Act and regulated by the PUCSL Act. Several transmission projects have already been initiated with the assistance of international funding agencies.

Currently, both the CEB and Independent Power Producers (IPP’s) supply the national grid. A total of 16 hydro power plants (1207 MW), 6 thermal power plants (538 MW) and one wind power plant of 3 MW (situated in Hambantota) are in operation under the CEB. The CEB has a total installed capacity of circa 2,684 MW. In addition IPP thermal plants have a capacity of 837MW and IPP renewables provide 211MW capacity. The development of two coal power projects (900MW and 500MW) is also in progress.

The strategy adopted by the Ministry of Power and Energy to purchase electricity from the renewable energy technologies has enabled many small power producers (SPPs) to generate and sell hydro power to the national grid. By September, 2010, the total number of mini hydro projects which commenced commercial operation had increased to 83 adding a total of 185MW to the national grid. Two biomass projects (11MW) and three wind power projects (30MW) have also already been commissioned.

VOLUME 2 Theme 8 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

In developing the masterplan and long term plans for the District, consideration has been given to the provision of additional power supplies to ensure that increased capacity demands will be met.

The District is currently provided with power from two main generating plants linked to the National Grid. The Main Central Infrastructure Services Plant, located to the north east of the Games Park, will also have the requisite number of flatbed truck mounted Standby Generators.

The Games-time standby power supply will not be connected to the National Grid, but will instead have truck-mounted 100% on-site standby generator capacity.

The state-owned CEB is the largest electricity company in Sri Lanka. With a market share of nearly 100%, it controls all major functions of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retailing in Sri Lanka. It is one of the only two on-grid electricity companies in the country; the other being the Lanka Electricity Company.

Within CEB, the District’s electricity distribution is overseen by the CEB Assistant General Manager (AGM) for the ‘R4’ area. The transmission function is overseen by the AGM (Transmission).

The transmission and distribution networks in Sri Lanka, the Southern Province and District (which encompasses the Games Park and all off-site venues) are all in the ownership of the CEB. The CEB has a total installed capacity of 2,684MW, of which approximately 1,290MW is from thermal energy and 1,207MW is from hydro-electricity.

The distribution system is well connected through the transmission system and consists of 33kV lines as the medium voltage distribution lines. There are no privatelyowned local or regional distribution systems in the area.

Q8.14 What is planned for the supply of high quality, filtered power to specialised equipment in locations Games wide?

Q8.15 Provide a guarantee from the relevant authorities that all competition and major non-competition venues (IBC, MPC, Games Village) will be provided with sufficient energy supplies for conduct of the Games.

113

Please see Guarantee 8.15 in the Guarantees File.

Q8.16 Provide a guarantee that the test event programme of the Organising Committee will conform to CGF requirements for testing and readiness including timing and appropriate financing.

Test events A test event programme will be developed, in accordance with CGF and IF requirements, to verify the operational efficiency of all venues. These will be programmed, following completion of the venues, predominantly throughout 2017, but will commence in 2016 with the 2016 SAG. The programming of test events from 26 months prior to the Games will provide more than adequate time to test the transport, security, technology, accreditation and operational systems across all sports to ensure they meet the Games-time requirements.

The OC will submit the proposed test event programme for approval by the CGF Executive. Please see Guarantee 8.16 in the Guarantees File.

The quality of supply provided by CEB is subject to the statutory regulations which set limits on voltage and frequency variations. Voltage variation at 33kV level is plus/minus 1% with supply frequency of 50Hz. The requisite safeguards will be in place to ensure avoidance of fluctuations and voltage drops.

Athletes first Highlights • A Games Village designed with a Sri Lankan feel – promoting friendly, social interaction, providing a warm welcome, with architecture inspired by tropical living • The Games Village is an integral part of the Commonwealth Games Park – athletes and officials will have both training and competition venues ‘on their doorstep’ • The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium is 0.9km from the Games Village – highly convenient for athletes and officials attending the Opening and Closing Ceremonies • Training venues will also be close by – either in the Games Village or 0.2km away in the adjacent Training Village • 90% of competition venues are within 1km of the Games Village and all others are within 40km or a 30 minute travel time from the Games Village making the Hambantota concept one of the most compact Commonwealth designs ever developed • Just 13km from the Hambantota International Airport, the Games Village is well served by the new road and rail network • Designed to the highest standards of environmental and technical design from the outset, the Games Village will be a fully accessible and sustainable project • A vibrant residential hub in legacy mode to support the multi-zone live, work and play environment of the Business and IT Park, University and Sports City development.

Q9.01 The Commonwealth Games Village is one of the largest projects an OC must undertake in preparing for the Commonwealth Games. The CGF’s requirements for the Commonwealth Games Village are laid down in the CGF Constitution and Regulations, the Host City Contract and the Games Manual on the Commonwealth Games Village and CGA Services. Post-Commonwealth Games legacy must also be carefully considered.

Designs for previous Commonwealth Games Villages have included new residential housing projects, campusstyle villages and privately-operated housing schemes.

Local architecture and design companies should be encouraged to take part in designing the Commonwealth Games Village to help promote local culture and to publicise striking local architectural features and construction techniques.

Describe your concept for the Commonwealth Games Village, including the following elements: • Owner • Location (in relation to the city) • Design • Layout • Type of accommodation • Special considerations/operations • Size of village (hectares) • Post-Games use • Accessibility considerations

The Sri Lankan concept will extend to promoting pedestrian mobility. The compactness of the Games Village means that all facilities and services are a short walk from the residential areas.

Whilst there will be an intimate feel to the residential area, with circa 80% pedestrian and open spaces, there will also be a major operational road network that will carry service traffic, accommodate the internal athlete transport system and allow the Games Village to operate efficiently and effectively.

A transport mall to the east of the Games Village will provide direct and frequent access to all competition venues. Over 90% of the competition and training venues are within 1km from the Games Village, which provides athletes and officials with the optional benefit of walking between venues.

The Games Village has been designed with athletes in mind and has incorporated best practice from many previous multi-sport Villages. Athletes have provided their input, ensuring that functionality and convenience have been at the forefront of the planning and design process. .

Q10.03 Give a general outline of the healthcare system currently in operation in your city and region.

Theme 10: Medical Services

The healthcare service in the District is consistent with that delivered across Sri Lanka and is predominantly provided by the public sector. There is a network of public medical facilities, as described in Q10.02, ensuring access to medical services across the District. Outpatient care through the public health sector is available from 8.00am to 8.00pm and emergency services operate 24 hours a day. District hospitals, base hospitals, general hospitals, teaching hospitals and specialist centres offer both outpatient and inpatient care. This network, coupled with the ambulance services, offers comprehensive medical and surgical services.

There are two main hospitals in the District: Hambantota General Hospital (HGH) and Suriyawewa District Hospital (SDH) located approximately 20km and 2km from the Commonwealth Games Park (the Games Park) respectively.

To reflect the projected socio-economic development of the District over the next decade and subsequent population growth, HGH, the largest hospital in the District, will be upgraded to a teaching hospital, with 1,000 beds by 2016. By 2016, SDH will also be upgraded to a base hospital, with 500 beds and all mainstream specialist services.

Q10.05 Use tables 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 to list: • Name and number of hospitals and teaching hospitals • Distance of hospitals from the Commonwealth Games Village (in km) • Number of beds • List of departments by speciality (including sports medicine, physiology and biomechanical research laboratories for teaching hospitals) • Major diagnostic equipment including radiology, biochemistry, cardiac, ophthalmology.

Q10.04 Describe your social system for managing medical expenses.

Explain the arrangements for foreign nationals visiting your country.

Sri Lanka has an international reputation for providing nationwide, cost effective, essential healthcare services.

Government healthcare is provided free of charge to all citizens, financed mainly through an indirect tax based system.

In 2010, the Government expenditure on health care was LKR 74.6 billion (GBP 0.4 billion), with further expenditure of LKR 88.9 billion (GBP 0.5 billion) allocated for 2011.

There are also plans to increase healthcare resources in future years.

All foreign nationals visiting Sri Lanka have access to the Government healthcare system. There is no charge for consultation and nominal charges only for drugs, investigation, patient accommodation, transport services and for the issue of medical certificates. Private healthcare is also available to foreigners for a fee.

Q10.06 Describe the operational procedure of your current emergency services.

Sri Lanka’s emergency services are going through a period of nationwide development. The full pre-hospital emergency system that currently exists in Colombo and other major urban areas will be introduced across the District by 2015.

This will include a dedicated 24-hour emergency phone number and ambulance service. Ambulance services are provided by the Government, St John and the Red Cross.

All medical services at events currently follow the ‘Health, Safety and Welfare’ code used for national sports festivals, music concerts and other major events. This code has been used at events such as the SAG, CWC matches, Asian Rugby Championships and the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit.

The code comprises of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) implemented by the Ministry of Health, all hospitals and the Ministry of Disaster Management. These SOPs set out lines of command and the procedures for all emergency services.

There will be 24-hour access to government emergency medical services for all Games visitors with emergency medical treatment provided free of charge.

A dedicated and fully equipped medical team will be available at the Games Family Hotel at all times.

To cover emergencies, a medical consultant will be at each venue, with the responsibility for informing the Command and Control Centre and mobilising intensive care unit (ICU) ambulances.

There will be a District-wide emergency call ambulance service across Hambantota by 2015. During the Games, the number of ambulances serving key hospitals and the Games Park will increase from 20 to over 100. Ambulances from surrounding health institutions will also be mobilised and the emergency call service will be linked to the on-site first aid services.

At Games-time, SDH, just 2km from the Games Park, will reserve the majority of its capacity for Games-related visitors. Patients requiring emergency medical, accident and trauma units will receive standard Ministry of Health practice response services, with additional resources in place as required to cater for increased demand.

Theme 10: Medical Services

Games Park medical provision There will be a main Medical Centre within the Games Park, comprehensively staffed and appropriately equipped with separate areas designated for spectators and accredited personnel. There will also be mobile medical centres at all competition venues and a dedicated ambulance service.

Q10.08 Describe existing plans for evacuation and assistance in the event of a natural disaster, specifying the chains of command and transfer of responsibilities.

How will these be affected by the Commonwealth Games?

If the chain of responsibility and command were to change due to the Commonwealth Games, please give details.

Sri Lanka has a National Disaster Plan with a number of protocols and SOPs, developed by the Ministry of Health and adopted across all health and emergency services.

Each district has a disaster management coordinator who operates under the Regional Director of Health. There is a statutory responsibility for the emergency services and other key agencies to work in partnership to ensure an effective and coordinated approach to any natural disaster.

The Ministry of Disaster Management coordinates with the Ministry of Health on a regular basis to ensure The Games Village Medical Centre will have a 24-hour first aid a comprehensive and united response to any natural Polyclinic with at least six intensive care beds and dedicated catastrophes.

Prior to the Games, all Chef de Missions, hotels, guest houses and information points will receive medical information packs. Specific Games-related health guidance will also be available through online portals such as the official websites for Hambantota 2018, the Games Hotel Association, the Ministry of Health and other high commissions and embassies. This is standard practice in Sri Lanka and has been undertaken for all major sports events in the past.

VOLUME 2 Theme 10 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

Sri Lanka is one of the leading nations in South Asia in addressing epidemic risks. Recent achievements include eliminating malaria-related mortality, with a complete eradication target by 2015.

The Epidemiological Unit of the Ministry of Health is the central body that provides overall guidance on epidemiological issues in Sri Lanka. In addition, each district has a public health specialist and a regional epidemiologist. The regional epidemiologist oversees the communicable disease programme, immunisation programme and other disease outbreak management initiatives. The Ministry of Health regularly issues guidelines to all relevant health institutions and provincial health authorities. All public water sources are also periodically checked for contamination.

All regional epidemiologists meet regularly at the Epidemiological Unit to review the national situation.

Regular local overviews and a risk summary are presented to the Regional Director of Health Services and Provincial Health Director of Health Services.

Sri Lanka also has several key partnerships with key governmental and non-governmental organisations including the World Health Organisation, UNICEF, UN agencies and other international research universities and institutions.

Each district’s community health programme, managed by Medical Officers of Health (MOH), is supported by a public health service team comprising Public Health Inspectors (PHIs), public health nurses and public health midwives. All hospitals must notify incidences of selected communicable diseases to their respective MOH. The PHIs are responsible for monitoring and reviewing cases of notified diseases, being trained in outbreak investigation and management. Prompt investigation and control measures are instituted by the relevant local health authority.

Where appropriate, the Ministry of Health, together with the local health authority, can recommend special isolation, quarantine or even mobilise health resources from other areas to manage outbreaks.

Q10.10 Describe what investments in healthcare facilities are planned in your city and region over the next ten years, irrespective of the Commonwealth Games, and any additional investments which would be necessary should the city be selected to host the Commonwealth Games.

Provide a guarantee from the relevant national, regional and local authorities that these investment plans are practicable and compatible with the harmonious development of your country, region and city.

Games-specific health services Hambantota is a fast developing district in Sri Lanka, both socially and economically. The Ministry of Health has initiated a significant public health investment programme, with Hambantota identified as one of its priority areas.

Investment and planned improvements will go ahead regardless of the outcome of Hambantota’s bid to host the Games and include: • HGH will become a state-of-the-art teaching hospital with 1,000 beds by 2016, following investment of circa LKR 5 billion (GBP 30 million) • SDH, just 2km from the Games Park site, will be upgraded to a base hospital with 500 beds by 2016, with operating theatres, ICU and state of the art outpatient services, as well as accident and emergency facilities. It will also provide ambulatory care, diagnostic units and rehabilitation centres. Investment of LKR 2-3 billion (GBP 17 million) is planned • The District will see significant growth in the number of medical personnel. By 2016, the number of nurses will increase from 400 to 1,000 and the number of doctors will increase from 250 to 600. There will be at least 50 specialists by 2018 • A state-run emergency medical and ambulance service will be introduced across the District • By 2013, 16 new Emergency Treatment Units (ETUs) will be built across the District, boosting the current facility stock and preparing for the wider infrastructure developments and the forecast population growth • All government hospitals in the District will have ETUs and both medical and surgical ICUs with doctors and consultants available on a 24-hour roster. The ETUs and ICUs will have the latest resuscitation equipment and a fleet of ambulances will transfer patients from any site in the District.

These planned developments reflect the significant population growth forecast for Hambantota and will also accommodate the medical requirements of the Games, supported by the large contingency of public sector health professionals and a programme of medical volunteer training and development across Sri Lanka.

Risks Proactively managing risks Competent Authority The Security Steering Committee, established in early 2011 to inform planning for Hambantota’s bid for the Games is the strategic multi-agency body responsible for the oversight of security and public safety strategy and plans, within the Sri Lankan national governance framework.

This Security Steering Committee has provided strategic guidance in the development of the risk assessment and Strategic Security Concept of Operations, to inform Hambantota’s bid.

The security strategy and plans will be intelligence-led, risk-based and flexible, with the inherent ability to respond to transformational threats and other emerging risks leading up to 2018.

Fire (buildings, industries and forests) The risk of fire during the Games has been assessed as low.

A senior Chief Fire Officer (CFO) with extensive statutory powers will be appointed to support Games planning through to operational delivery. This support will include specialist advice on fire prevention and best practice safety design for venue development. It will ensure that the Hambantota 2018 Organising Committee (OC) is compliant with all relevant Sri Lankan fire safety regulations.

Regional and national resources will be used to augment Hambantota’s Fire Brigade and ensure the appropriate level of experience, expertise and resources required during the Games. The CFO will the assign emergency services and fire fighting personnel and resources to key strategic locations, including Games venues, to provide a rapid response to any fire, hazardous material or other incidents requiring a specialised response.

Intrusion into Games facilities Sri Lankan security services are experienced in planning and coordinating joint, multi-agency operations for the security of major events. The expertise in counter terrorism, protective security operations, traffic management and public order has underpinned the success of many major international sports events and high level political, cultural and social events, including visits by Heads of States and international conferences.

The concept of ‘security in depth’, as illustrated in Figure 11.1.1, is fundamental to the national security strategy that will inform security planning for the Games. It encompasses international and national intelligence (“identify and disrupt”), border security through to national infrastructure, regional, transportation, site and venue protective security.

Civil disobedience Sri Lanka has a long-standing history of democracy and cultural diversity. It embraces equity for all. A main tenet of the current Government policy is the creation of a unified, peaceful nation and there have been no incidents of civil disobedience in the past 2-3 years.

The Sri Lanka Police force are highly trained and well equipped to handle any civil disturbance in a highly professional manner, supported by a sound intelligence network at international, regional and national level.

During the lead-up to the Games, dedicated Police liaison officers will be assigned to the OC and local councils to ensure that special interest groups are consultatively engaged.

The risk of civil disobedience to the Games has been assessed as low.

Crime Sri Lanka Police is committed and confident to uphold and enforce the law of the land, to preserve public order, prevent crime and terrorism with prejudice to none and equity to all.

As a fast emerging foreign tourist destination, the District of Hambantota (the District), provides a safe environment to hold the Games, with a low crime rate.

In 2010, the total number of serious crimes reported in the District was 1,303, an increase of 6% over the previous year, primarily property-related crime. However, this increase is in line with the increase in the regional population, linked to the development of major infrastructure and other projects. As a result of ongoing policing strategies and initiatives, the rate of solved crimes has increased in the same period.

At a national level, there is recognition that serious crime requires proactive policies. In 2009, the Police launched a well-organised and effective island-wide policing and crime prevention campaign.

Sri Lanka works closely with international and regional agencies; including the regular exchange of information with Interpol on organised crime including drug, human and arms smuggling.

The concept of operations will provide layered security to the Commonwealth Games Park (Games Park) as an island Police officers at various levels also attend information site, with the Commonwealth Games Village (Games Village) and skill exchange programmes, both internationally secured within it. There will be access control, search and and regionally, to further enhance capabilities. screening and threat detection at the Games Park perimeter.

Appropriate CCTV, lighting, command and control systems will be installed. This will support and complement a skilled and well-resourced guarding service. Figure 11.1.2 shows the main features of the Games Park security plan.

The Security Steering Committee has sought, and will continue to seek, input on international best practice from previous Games and other major multi-sport events to provide the correct balance of robust but discreet security.

Technological risks to essential Games services Sri Lanka and Hambantota has a resilient and reliable power and telecommunications infrastructure, with services provided by government entities, overseen by their respective ministries.

The Director of Security will coordinate activities across the following providers to protect and ensure that an appropriate level of resilience is implemented for the Games Park and across the OC’s technical infrastructure.

• The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), the government entity responsible for generation and distribution of electricity across Sri Lanka, will have overall responsibility for ensuring the uninterrupted supply of electricity during the Games.

Theme 11: Security

• Sri Lanka Telecom/Mobitel (SLTM), under the Ministry of Telecommunications, will provide telecommunication facilities for the Games. The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka also controls the private telecommunication companies operating in Sri Lanka.

• The Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) Sri Lanka will be responsible for the provision of IT resources for the Games. Nationally, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is responsible for the protection of telecommunications and information technology networks from cyber-attacks and from other threats to essential service infrastructure.

Traffic and major traffic accidents Traffic management is a vital component of Hambantota’s integrated security and transport planning. The risk of traffic issues impacting on the delivery of Games operations has been assessed as very low.

The south of Sri Lanka is now developing into a key economic hub. The new road network surrounding the Games Park will include modern facilities such as CCTV for monitoring and controlling the flow of traffic. The traffic management system, in keeping with international safety standards, will be one of the best in the South Asian region.

It will have the capacity to manage traffic with an emphasis on safety and control systems, supported by proactive road policing.

The introduction of proactive strategies to reduce the number of traffic accidents in Sri Lanka has been effective to date, including strategies to reduce speeding and careless driving; improve road conditions and signage in line with international standards; and traffic police training programmes.

The number of road accidents reported in 2010 remains almost the same as 2009, a significant achievement considering the increase in population and infrastructure developments.

The compact design of the Games Park, including the Games Village and the nearby Games Family Hotel, facilitates security and minimises the Games-time transport demands. Security will be provided where required on athlete transport shuttles and there will be escorts for Games Family vehicles on dedicated lanes outside the Games Park and from transport hubs.

Natural catastrophes (earthquake, flood, volcano, hurricane, etc) In the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, the Government of Sri Lanka (the Government) has strengthened the legislative and institutional arrangements for Disaster Response Management (DRM) throughout the country.

The Disaster Management Act No.13 of 2005 provides the legal basis for a DRM system, establishing the National Council for Disaster Management (NCDM), chaired by the President. There is also a dedicated Minister for Disaster Management.

A Disaster Management Centre (DMC), established in 2005, provides the required expertise and know-how for the management and mitigation of disasters.

The District, in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka, comprises a geographical area of 2,600km2. The risks of natural disasters during the Games are likely to be minimal as the Games are scheduled for the dry season, largely eliminating threats from floods, landslides and lightning.

The 2004 tsunami only affected an area of 1km inland from the coast; the Games Park area, 30km inland, was not affected.

The design and construction of the Games Park and new infrastructure across the District is taking account of necessary protection against natural disasters, in line with international best practice.

Other catastrophes Disaster Management and Immediate Response Teams are currently positioned in Hambantota and are actively and effectively engaged in continuous assessment, mitigation and awareness programmes. During the Games, additional dedicated specialist teams trained in disaster management will be assigned under the command of the Director of Security. These specialist teams will include Search and Rescue and Immediate Response teams with additional support (specialist personnel, equipment and resources) provided by elite units from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Police Special Task Force.

In terms of radiological risks, there are no ionizing radiation sources in Hambantota and although ionizing radiation sources are used in industrial, medical and agriculture fields in Sri Lanka, there have been no radiological incidents to date.

The Atomic Energy Authority (AEA), Department of Meteorology (DoM), and Sri Lankan Navy are working on establishing a Radiological Emergency Response (RER) plan at a national level, including response capability development, specialist medical training and procurement of monitoring and other equipment. This work is being done in conjunction with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Terrorism There is no specific information on any current or emerging risk from religious, political or ethnic groups within Sri Lanka as assessed by the State Intelligence Service (SIS), Sri Lanka’s national intelligence and counter terrorist agency.

The issue of terrorism and ongoing anti-terrorism strategies will be covered in Q11.02.

Specify the measures envisaged for preventing acts of terrorism by international groups.

Terrorism – Current risks and trends for Sri Lanka In terms of international terrorist risks, to date, Sri Lanka has not been identified as a target by any transnational foreign terrorist groups.

Nationally, the domestic risk of terrorism has also significantly decreased with the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) in May 2009.

The Government will fully engage both national and international intelligence and counter-terrorism resources, and build upon existing relationships with international security agencies, to identify and disrupt any potential risk of terrorism to the Games.

Identifying and disrupting the threat Sri Lankan security forces have implemented numerous anti-terrorist strategies to identify and disrupt any potential threat. These strategies include, but are not limited to: • A high level of protective security for all designated critical national infrastructure: installations of national value, high-risk economic targets and other vulnerable points • Extensive surveillance and other covert operational activities to detect and identify clandestine terrorist cadres • Implementation of enhanced personal screening measures to identify and detain foreign immigrants to prevent infiltration of persons listed on international terrorist databases • Special security arrangements to enhance the protective security of diplomats, VIPs and foreigners who visit Sri Lanka for official purposes and other events • Ongoing joint exercises and training between national security agencies to enhance operational integration at all levels.

Combating terrorism – strengthening regional ties and capabilities Sri Lanka is committed to international and regional co-operation to combat terrorism. It has ratified 13 UN conventions to combat terrorism and has put in place the legal mechanisms in keeping with this obligation.

Sri Lanka is a leading member state of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC); other member states include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and Pakistan. In 2004, the SAARC Heads of State ratified the Additional Protocol to the SAARC Regional Convention on Suppression of Terrorism to meet the obligations of the UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1373 (2001). This Additional Protocol strengthened the SAARC Regional Convention, particularly by criminalising the provision, collection or acquisition of funds for the purpose of committing terrorism.

155

As part of an ongoing commitment to strengthening international cooperation, in 2005, the SAARC recognised nine countries (including Australia, China, the European Union, Iran and USA) as observers for collaboration on a series of issues, including terrorism, transnational crime and trafficking in women and children.

Q11.03 Identify the public and private organisations, including the Intelligence Services, which will be involved with security during the Commonwealth Games, and their respective responsibilities.

Security organisations A proven command framework Under existing national legislation, all security and policing forces will be assigned under the Ministry of Defence. This proven unified command framework, using joint protective security operations, has been used for major events without incident for many years.

The roles and responsibilities of the various Sri Lankan public safety and security agencies are as follows: National Police Service: The Police have responsibility for the maintenance of law and order and traffic control throughout Sri Lanka. Their expertise includes counter terrorism, protective security, traffic management and public order.

At Games-time, the Hambantota Police force will be augmented by additional trained and equipped resources from around the country to provide security on and around the Games Park including access control and searching and screening.

Civil Security Department (CSD): The Civil Security Department will work in cooperation with the Police in securing sites, assets and venues within the Games Park and the District. CSD is a well-established organisation with specific expertise in general security, asset protection and crime prevention.

Q11.02 Provide an analysis by a competent authority (specify which) of the situation with respect to any risks posed by activist minorities (religious, political, ethnic etc.) or terrorist groups in the country or region.

156

Sri Lankan Armed Forces: During the Games, the Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Air Force) and the elite Police Special Task Force (STF) will be deployed for the following dedicated tasks: • Outer perimeter security for the Games Park • Security of the entry/exit routes to the Games Park in conjunction with Police • Security of airports, railway stations and key installations • VVIP and VIP Security

Q11.04 Provide a guarantee from the highest government authority of your country for the safety and the peaceful celebration of the Commonwealth Games. This guarantee must include the respective responsibilities of all relevant authorities (financial, planning, operational, etc.).

In the event that the regional and/or local government(s) has (have) authority over public security, emergencies or any other aspect of security, the highest authority of the regional and/or local government(s) must also provide (a) written guarantee(s) in the same terms.

• Anti-hijacking teams at airports (Army Commandos) • Search and Rescue Teams • Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) at pre-designated locations

The Guarantee of Security Please see Guarantee 11.04 in the Guarantees File.

• Disaster Management (Immediate Response Teams) • Surveillance (land, sea and air)

Theme 11: Security

• Explosive Ordnance Disposal or Bomb Disposal Teams.

National Intelligence Services: The State Intelligence Service (SIS), National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) and the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) will work together (with assistance from regional and international intelligence agencies) to provide intelligence and other information to the Director of Security throughout the planning, construction and Games operations phases.

Disaster Management Centre (DMC): The DMC will oversee all disaster management arrangements for the Games.

Sri Lankan Coast Guard: The Coast Guard are responsible for preventing smuggling and or illegal entry, and will be supported by the Navy to provide in-depth security.

Fire Service: The Fire Service will be responsible for the provision of specialist advice on fire prevention and safety design best practices to ensure that the venue designs and the Games-time operations are compliant with relevant Sri Lankan fire safety regulations. Additional regional and national resources will be available to ensure the appropriate level of experience, expertise and capacity to deal with emergencies.

Health services: The Ministry of Health will establish a dedicated and robust health system for the Games, using the Suriyawewa District and Hambantota General hospitals, upgraded by the time of the Games. In addition, one of Sri Lanka’s major teaching hospitals in Karapitiya, approximately 90km from the Games Park, will deal with the most serious cases transported by helicopter.

Private sector: Whilst the private sector security industry in Sri Lanka is currently reasonably robust, it is expected that, with the oversight of the Ministry of Defence, this industry will further expand. Games-time roles for private security may include aspects of asset protection and access control at venues. The development of the private security industry is another anticipated legacy benefit of hosting the Games.

VOLUME 2 Theme 11 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

Q11.05 Identify how the public and private organisations will be integrated and coordinated, both amongst themselves and with the OC, throughout planning and operations.

A single integrated command structure The Ministry of Defence will be the lead Government agency in ensuring a safe and secure Games in 2018. The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) will thus have the overall responsibility for the security of the Games, with direct access to the most senior levels of Government. The CDS is therefore the ‘CWG Competent Authority’ responsible for Games security.

The Security Steering Committee, chaired by the CDS, will report directly to the OC and will discharge this responsibility through senior representation from the key government and other organisations involved (see Figure 11.8.1 – Games planning organisation structures on page 160). These organisations include the Intelligence Services, Police, Disaster Management and other Emergency Services who are all familiar with the integration required to provide security during large international events and visits.

A Director of Security for the Games will have operational responsibility for a safe and secure Games. They will be an ‘ex officio’ member of the Security Steering Committee and work directly for the CWG Competent Authority. The role of the Games Security Directorate (GSD) is described in Q11.07.

The Security Steering Committee has developed an overall Concept of Operations informed by a threat/risk assessment. This sets out the overall vision and objectives for delivering a safe and secure Games, including the main programme phases and timelines. These phases are: Concept and Bid, Planning and Design, Construction, Readiness, Games and post-Games transition.

The main security activities across these phases are likely to Q11.06 be wide-ranging including: Identify any existing key organisations that will not be • Intelligence and counter terrorism involved in Commonwealth Games security.

• Games-wide operations: across the District, accommodation, coastal operations and airspace • Traffic and transport including Park and Ride • Construction and construction logistics

157

All relevant organisations will be involved in the Games ensuring a co-ordinated approach to security planning and operations.

• Games supply and logistics • External Games and Special Events covering off-site activities, Queen’s Baton Relay and Opening and Closing Ceremonies • Command and Control through construction and Games • Games Park security infrastructure • Games Park site and venue security covering the immediate environs, perimeter, venues, Games Village and public areas • Emergency response and disaster management.

The Security Steering Committee will define, develop and implement a set of work streams through the GSD. It will agree and sign off overall strategy, policies and plans with the OC and relevant government departments and agencies.

This will ensure that the Security Programme for the Games is fully integrated and that work streams are led by the appropriate people, engage the appropriate organisations and make best use of expert capability and available best practice benchmarks.

The Security Steering Committee will provide continuity, ensuring that initial planning is well informed by relevant expertise and operational experience, and enabling a smooth transition from planning to implementation.

Q11.07 Will there be a department within the OC structure responsible for security matters?

What will be its functions and responsibilities vis-à-vis the organisations identified in Q 11.3?

A Director of Security and expert team The Director of Security will be appointed by the Security Steering Committee and will be responsible for all security matters pertaining to the Games.

The Director of Security will be responsible for the establishment of multi-agency Games Security Directorate (GSD), ensuring that the Security Steering Committee, the OC and relevant stakeholders are suitably engaged.

The GSD will be staffed by senior representatives and specialist planners from the various agencies represented within the Security Steering Committee. It will be responsible for the development of security strategy and policies in consultation with the Security Steering Committee; the planning and implementation of the Security Programme; and the coordination and assurance of tactical and operational security for the Games.

During the planning phase, the GSD will fulfil the following functions: • Planning – strategic concepts and plans, requirement definition, capability gap analysis, financial • Programme Management – governance, work stream and project definition and management/assurance processes, programme and project outline plans and resources • Threat/risk analysis and intelligence – management processes and initial analyses to inform planning, design and operations • Venues and infrastructure – “secured by design” and associated review/assurance processes • Security infrastructure – definition of requirements and project initiation • Corporate security – personnel, information and corporate physical asset security policies and plans • Operations – definition of initial operational requirements and initial set-up • Procurement – establishment of procurement processes and plans.

Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File VOLUME 2 Theme 11

Theme 11: Security

• Accreditation and personnel security

158

In the implementation phases, the organisation will take on three specific roles as it transitions towards Games operations: • Maintenance and assurance of Security Programme plans and designs through the construction delivery phases including maintenance of threat/risk assessments • Project management of security infrastructure and implementation of corporate security requirements • Operational management and assurance including the implementation of all security operations in readiness for the Games, including operational command and control structures, processes and procedures, resource deployment and capability development.

Q11.09 Provide estimates of the total police and emergency services human resources in the region and city.

Security resources The current levels of human resources for the police and emergency services reflect the current population and infrastructure in the District. Following major developments such as the Hambantota Seaport, Hambantota International Airport and other major infrastructure, further increases will follow over the next 5-7 years.

If required, there are significant resources available throughout the country that can be readily redeployed, as described in Q11.10.

Q11.10 Provide an estimate of the total human resources that would be used in the operational implementation of security during the Commonwealth Games, specifying by staff type (e.g., police, emergency services, intelligence services, Armed Forces, volunteers, contract security, etc.) and in what capacity.

What proportion of these will come from another region and will need varying degrees of logistical support?

A capable and deployable security resource The Games provides significant legacy opportunities for security personnel through the development of public safety and security capabilities over the next seven years.

Specific training programmes will be implemented to ensure that the right level and type of skills are available for the Games.

Regional security, police and emergency services are being expanded and developed to meet the growing demands of the District. These local resources will be augmented at Games-time from national resources, both in personnel numbers and specialist capabilities. The necessary temporary accommodation, transport and welfare needs will be provided in close proximity to the Games Park.

Sri Lanka has a well-resourced security capability that can be readily deployed throughout the island. Due to the significant development planned for the Southern Province over the next 5-7 years, it is not possible to determine the proportion of resources required from other regions, although this is estimated to be around 10,000 people.

Q11.11 Does legislation permit a single management structure that will be effective whatever the origin of the human and technical resources that are used, and without functional or territorial restrictions?

Legislation

Q11.12 If necessary, is your government willing to make modifications to the laws, standards and administrative procedures considered necessary within the legislative organisation of the country to achieve an efficient structure and a security operation that is appropriate to the special circumstances of the Commonwealth Games?

159

A commitment to legislation if necessary The Government confirms that it is willing to make modifications to the laws, standards and administrative procedures considered necessary within the legislative organisation of Sri Lanka, to achieve an efficient structure and a security operation that is appropriate to the special circumstances of the Games.

Q11.13 Is it possible to limit and exercise effective control over the use of air space affected by the Commonwealth Games and, if so, how?

Controlled airspace The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) controls the entire Sri Lankan air space. For the duration of the Games, the area around the Games Park will become a ‘no fly zone’ controlled by the CAA from the Control Tower at Hambantota International Airport. The only exception to the ‘no fly zone’ will be for authorised users, including broadcasters for overhead pictures and road events, cleared VIP flights, emergency evacuations and the Sri Lankan Air Force.

The CAA has the powers to impose further bans or restrictions on aircraft movements across Sri Lanka during the Games on advice from the intelligence agencies, police or armed services.

Single management structure As part of Sri Lanka’s Constitution under the Public Security Act, a single management structure can be implemented and, if necessary, it is possible to appoint a ‘Competent Authority’ to govern over a District for a temporary period.

A star rating system for hotels registered and licensed

by SLTDA, the National Tourism Organisation of Sri Lanka, is enforced by legal authority under regulations of the Tourism Act No 38 of 2005. These regulations are cited as the “Tourist Hotels Code” assessed and classified by a committee of experienced accommodation specialists.

The star rating system conforms to internationally accepted criteria, with descriptions as follows: Five-star rating A luxurious hotel, fully air-conditioned with at least 60 letting rooms. The hotel will offer clients the highest degree of personal service. All internal and external areas must be maintained to the highest standard. Additional facilities will include a conference or banquet hall, meeting rooms, a swimming pool and other high quality amenities.

Four-star rating An excellent hotel with air conditioning and at least 50 letting rooms, of which a minimum of two must be suites. All facilities must be maintained to a high standard and include the provision of health and entertainment amenities.

Three-star rating A very good quality hotel with at least 15 letting rooms.

The hotel will provide a selection of suitable amenities in addition to dining areas. These hotels will provide air conditioned rooms.

As shown in Table 12.2, by 2018 there will be 2,150 five-star rooms, 1,202 four-star rooms, 1,168 three-star rooms and at least 441 two-star hotel rooms. As stated later in this theme, legislation will be introduced to ensure that a quota of fivestar rooms are categorised as three and four-star rooms (in terms of room rates) for the period of the Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games (the Games). This will ensure that all requirements of the Commonwealth Games Federation are met.

Of the 647 three-star ‘existing’ rooms listed in Table 12.2, 440 will be upgraded from lower rated hotels (currently one and two-star) by 2018. Hoteliers have confirmed their commitment to this upgrading work, as detailed in Guarantees 12.13 and these upgrades will be supported

by SLTDA loans where necessary. Similarly, by 2018 at least 299 of the existing guest house room stock will be upgraded to a two-star hotel rating. This is in addition to 131 two-star hotel rooms currently under construction and one existing two-star 11 room hotel.

There are a total of 16 planned and additional hotels to be constructed between 10km and 50km of the Games Park.

This includes several internationally recognised hoteliers such as Shangri-la, China Harbour and Jetwing.

Several of the larger additional hotels are on the south coast within 30km of the Games Park and all other competition venues. These can be accessed in approximately 30 minutes via the new highway and Games bus corridor.

These hotels will be key to the long term tourism legacy of the region and are a good example of how Hambantota is seizing the opportunity to create an economically sustainable future for itself.

Provide a guarantee that should the price of such rooms in 2018 be higher than the price stated in your Candidature File, the OC must pay the difference (this must be clearly indicated in your budget). Provide guarantee(s) as attachment(s) and list in Attachments Index (page 2).

Room rates The Games Family Hotel will be the Cosmos Hotel, an additional four-star hotel located next to the Games Park, which is due for completion in September 2012. Its location next to the Games Park ensures that the Games Family will be ‘in the heart of the action’ and no more than 1km from the Games Village and 90% of the competition venues.

As stated in Guarantee 12.09 within the Guarantees File, 200 rooms within the Games Family Hotel will be provided free of charge inclusive of breakfast. The Games Family will therefore only be required to pay taxes and the cost of food and drink.

All other rooms in the hotel will be reserved for the additional needs of the Games Family and room rates will be calculated in line with the price range stated in Q12.10.

Q12.10 For constituent hotel(s), give the maximum room rate in GBP 2011 and 2018 for all room types for all populations not covered by the Commonwealth Games Family hotel(s) rate stated in Q 12.10.

Describe how such room rates will be indexed to 2018 and controlled.

The prevailing maximum rate for existing constituent hotels is provided in Table 12.10.1. No official maximum room rate currently exists.

* There are currently no 5-star constituent hotels. The existing rates above are predominantly determined by location rather than hotel rating.

It is understood that Candidate Cities have a clear responsibility to ensure a wide range of affordable room rates in all hotel categories in order to encourage as many visitors to the Games as possible. It is also recognised that there may be price sensitivity for some visitors/spectators, both indigenous to the host country and from various parts of the Commonwealth.

In a mature economy, there is obvious merit in a question that compares the maximum room rate in 2011 with the maximum room rate proposed for 2018.

Typically, average room rate growth would be calculated over the seven year period, allowing for inflation and any known economic factors that may influence the selected maximum rate.

The District is however, not currently part of a mature economy. It is emerging from both the effects of the tsunami and many years of internal conflict in Sri Lanka.

It is also at the beginning of a carefully planned and phased period of transitional economic and social regeneration and sustainable growth that will take place over the next decade and beyond.

The existing hotel stock has historically undervalued room rates and will be redeveloped in line with this economic expansion and development.

Hotel infrastructure and amenities will be significantly enhanced along with an improvement in levels of service, as befits modern luxury resorts.

Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File VOLUME 2 Theme 12

Theme 12: Accommodation

Q12.09 For the Commonwealth Games Family Hotel(s), clearly stipulate the maximum room rate for all room types (single, double/twin and suite) in GBP 2018 and including breakfast(s) and taxes, applicable to the following population:

180

In addition, the District will benefit from a significant increase in new high quality hotels featuring well known international brands. These blue-chip brands will help to service this new and sustainable economy and to support and accelerate the positioning of the District as one of the leading tourist destinations in the world, on a par with, for example, Mauritius and the Seychelles.

The year on year increase in visitor numbers of 46% from 2009-2010 is testimony to this positive growth.

The above scenario has been a prominent factor in helping to frame the selected room rates proposed in Table 12.10.2.

In calculating these room rates, the following factors have been considered:

In addition to hotel guarantees, hotels have signed up to the Service Promise, included in the Guarantees File at 12.13 and 12.14.

New and refurbished hotels will only be able to charge a rate during the Games that falls within a higher price range if their property has been approved by the SLTDA and GHA as conforming to the necessary minimum standards for the respective star rating.

By joining the GHA, accommodation owners and developers will be afforded the following benefits:

• The future economy in the Southern Province and the rapid anticipated growth in tourism demand

Prior to 2018:

• The extensive planned investment in the District

• Opportunity to apply for a low interest refurbishment loan through the SLTDA

• The historically undervalued room rates in the District

Theme 12: Accommodation

All constituent hotels will be required to join the GHA, the Association set up to manage and coordinate the hotel accommodation sector within Hambantota.

• The need to offer hoteliers comfort that room rates are accurately projected and benchmarked against international comparators. This is of particular relevance to hotels under construction or at the planning stage.

• The importance of the GHA to facilitate and oversee regular room rate monitoring as well as any negotiations with new hotels to avoid artificially inflated Games-time prices. Exact rates will be agreed with accommodation providers at least 18 months prior to the Games.

The Games room rate range shown below has been calculated by the Government and is based upon industry trends and economic and growth projections made by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

This price range reflects the work of both national and local Government and the SLTDA in transforming the District into one of the most popular and highest quality resort destinations within Southern Asia and the world.

This ambitious plan is soundly based upon all the relevant economic indicators and the very substantial capital investment earmarked for the District in the years leading up to 2018 and beyond.

Legislation will be implemented to guarantee that all hotel prices do not exceed those stated in Table 12.10.2 from 1st to 31st May 2018 and the GHA will work closely with individual hotels to advise on the optimum rate to be applied, within the price range, during the Games.

• Fast track planning process for new accommodation developments, in accordance with the Land Reclamation and Development Corporation and the Urban Development Authority (guarantee obtained).

At Games-time: • Marketing and promotion through the GHA • Increased opportunity of securing large corporate block bookings in addition to the traditional increased secondary spend of Games-related visitors (food, beverage, function space) • Availability of selective Games packages.

Through the guarantees, all hotels have indicated that 100% of their hotel stock will be available for the Games.

Following Host City confirmation, Government legislation will be developed to formalise the hotel contracts.

This will enable accommodation providers to request up to 20% of their rooms back by 2016 for non-Games use, allowing them to maintain relationships with their established client base.

As part of this release back process, the SLTDA will review the total room inventory in line with requirements stipulated by the CGF and anticipated Games demand.

The SLTDA, if required, guarantee to source additional hotel room stock or use of cruise ships to address any anticipated shortfalls. All contracts will be secured by 2016, two years prior to the Games.

Q12.11 What are your plans to control room rates in hotels to be constructed and in existing hotels to be refurbished?

Q12.13 Provide guarantees for a minimum of 4,000 rooms in the following star categories:

181

• 5 star – 200 rooms

In order to achieve planning approval, new hoteliers within 50km of the Games Park will be required to guarantee the availability and price of their rooms for the duration of the Games. This process will be overseen by the Urban Development Authority.

For existing hotels to be refurbished government loans will be made available for hotels affiliated to the GHA but these hotels will be required to control their room rates in line with the fixed price range. This concessionary loan scheme was successfully introduced for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Government legislation will be introduced to ensure room rates do not exceed the maximum rates stated in Q12.10 for all Games accommodation. The SLTDA and the GHA will work closely with hotels to ensure that this is effectively and fairly achieved.

Q12.12 The CGF prefers that no minimum stay is proposed.

However, if a minimum stay is envisaged in your accommodation plan, the CGF requirement is to allow different waves of room blocks throughout the Games period.

• 4 star – 1,400 rooms • 3 star – 2,100 rooms • 2 star – 300 rooms From individual hotels and other accommodation owners listed in tables 12.3 to 12.7 guaranteeing, for all constituent groups: • Room availability • Room rate • Minimum stay/room block waves, if applicable • Timelines and financing of hotel upgrades, if applicable • Price controls for services other than room rates • That accommodation contracts are binding through to the Games Please note that, following election as the Host City, the OC will be required to develop a detailed contract with each hotel/accommodation owner. Further, a different contract will be required for the official CGF Flagship Hotel for the Games Family Hotel(s).

Hotel guarantees Please see Guarantees 12.13 in the Guarantees File.

If applicable, describe your plan for minimum stay and room block waves.

Q12.14 In addition, provide guarantees from the competent authorities for all hotels and other accommodation to be constructed (planned and additional), guaranteeing:

Minimum stay

• Construction authorisation

There will be no requirement for a minimum stay.

This policy will be governed by the GHA.

• Works timelines • Financing • Management company Please see Guarantees 12.14 in the Guarantees File. As part of construction contracts between now and 2016, all additional hotels constructed on government owned land within 50km of the Games Park will be obliged to commit their rooms for use of the Games and agree to all of the GHA terms, including room rate calculations.

Q12.15 Provide details regarding your accommodation plan for spectators during the Commonwealth Games.

Q12.16 Provide a brief explanation of how your accommodation plan is linked to public transport arrangements.

Spectators

The main accommodation clusters are located adjacent to the Games Park; south of Hambantota city by the coast and Hambantota Seaport; to the north of the Games Park around Wellawaya; and to the south east of the Games Park in Kataragama and in Tissa.

Theme 12: Accommodation

Sri Lankan tourism has a long term strategy already in place that includes bidding for and hosting the Games. By 2016, the District will have the necessary capacity and range of hotel accommodation to stage major sport events, accommodate significant increases in tourism and deliver high profile international conventions and conferences.

This new high quality hotel provision will be complemented by the coordination and management systems developed

by SLTDA and will create a tourism legacy that delivers benefits across the Southern Province.

The Games Hotel Association The establishment of a GHA will provide spectators with the highest levels of service, building on Sri Lanka’s international reputation for high quality accommodation and service standards. The GHA will comprise the SLTDA, hotel managers and other key tourism partners and will ensure a cohesive and transparent approach to informing and managing spectators.

The GHA will provide: • A single point of contact, disseminating information to both accommodation owners and Games spectators • A website, launched by 2016 in time for the 2016 South Asian Games, in collaboration with a hotel booking agency. This booking portal will link with transport provider websites (air, rail and bus booking portals). It will provide information on member accommodation, tour operators, Sri Lankan tourist information and will store visitor data for future promotional activities.

• An interface between spectators and accommodation providers, ensuring that smaller hotels and guest houses are afforded the same opportunities as those larger, internationally established hotels • Accommodation information provided at all points of entry into Sri Lanka.

VOLUME 2 Theme 12 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

The District is undergoing a period of radical transformation with significant investment in the regional transport infrastructure, including new highways and rail network, as well as enhanced transport provision and capacity, for example new buses. This will ensure easy access to and around the District, with all the main accommodation clusters well served by public transport.

Most clusters are focused around the areas of the highway network that are due for significant upgrades or new construction before 2016 regardless of the Games.

A number of Games-specific transport services, including dedicated Games shuttle buses will serve the hotel clusters, providing quick and convenient access to the Games Park.

The GHA will ensure hotels are fully informed of the transport options available.

Full details of public transport options will be published and distributed at all information desks (Games areas and ports of entry) and each hotel and guest house. These booklets will contain maps showing public transport links, guidance on travel time between venues and details on places of interest.

A full summary of the public transport system available to spectators is provided in Q13.09.

Travel time to the key hotel clusters (in addition to the hotels adjacent to the Games Park) are as follows: • Seaport accommodation cluster: 34km, 26 minutes • Tissa accommodation cluster: 39km, 30 minutes • Kataragama accommodation cluster: 42km, 35 minutes.

183

Q12.17 If applicable, list any other accommodation possibilities which could be envisaged. (e.g. youth hostels, university campus, campsites, etc.).

What would be the capacity of this additional accommodation?

The District offers a diverse array of alternative accommodation. An inventory of all other guest houses in the area shows that, in addition to those being upgraded and listed in Table 12.7, there are around 1,695 further guest house rooms.

Matara, Galle, Kandy and Colombo also all have a significant selection of hotels and tourist attractions, all within 3 hours of the Games Park.

Theme 12: Accommodation

In terms of accommodation for volunteers, the ‘Host a Volunteer’ programme will encourage the 80% of volunteers expected to come from the Southern Province to provide free accommodation to volunteers from outside the area.

This will provide the opportunity to fully immerse visiting volunteers in the rich culture of the Southern Province.

There will also be a ‘home stay’ programme that will be attractive and cost effective for many visitors.

Q13.01 Based on your general Games concept and your city and regional transport systems, explain your Games transport strategy.

State your objectives as well as general transport strategies and policies in relation to Games clients and the general public.

• Over 60% of Commonwealth nations and territories are served by a direct flight or one hub transfer, providing easy international access to the Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games • The compact Commonwealth Games Park will keep all the main constituent groups within 2km of all major venues, encouraging walking and minimising journey times • The Games-time transport concept is for a public transport Games, with 100% of spectators arriving at venues by public transport • High capacity bus and rail routes serving the Commonwealth Games Park and free public transport for those with Games tickets and for accredited individuals will provide quick and easy access to the Games venues • An economically and environmentally sustainable transport strategy will deliver a positive legacy for the region, avoiding infrastructure investment that does not benefit Sri Lanka in the long term.

• The Southern Highway, due for completion in 2013 will connect the Southern Province to Colombo by road in less than three hours • The USD 1.2 billion (GBP 0.75 million) seaport that opened in April 2011 with the final phase to be complete by 2014, puts Hambantota at the heart of the global shipping network • The new Hambantota International Airport, opening in 2012, will serve both domestic and international routes

Transport strategy and authorities Hambantota The District of Hambantota (the District) is undergoing a period of radical transformation to become a major urban development, one of Sri Lanka’s five future metro cities and a strategic hub for economic development, tourism growth and regeneration initiatives.

Investment in the national and regional transport and communication networks will underpin the delivery of the region’s ambitions; serving a migrating population and increasing demand for tourism across the Southern Province.

There are a number of major transport infrastructure schemes already underway which will improve connectivity across the District, Sri Lanka and internationally:

• Extensive investment in rail, including a new rail line through the heart of the Southern Province, will integrate Hambantota within the improved national rail network.

Regionally, there is already a substantial investment programme underway, with 55km of brand new highway and upgrades to 297km of existing highways, ensuring that the region’s economic development is supported by fast, effective road links with increased capacity.

As one of the primary modes of transport in Sri Lanka, the bus fleet is also set for significant investment. The national transport programme aims to increase the size and quality of the national bus fleet and 1,000 new, air conditioned buses will be procured in advance of 2018.

Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File VOLUME 2 Theme 13

Theme 13: Transport

Safe, efficient, timely

187

188

All this is being achieved as part of Hambantota’s ambitious development plans; plans that are underway and will be implemented with or without the arrival of the Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games (the Games).

Once complete, this new infrastructure will form the basis of a modern and efficient transport network that will support the development of the District and upon which the Games Transport Strategy can be based.

A centralised park The Games will be focused around a centralised Games Park; a unique concept housing all but two of the Commonwealth sports within a 2km radius. The Games Park will be served by a loop road, which connects to the back of house areas for all the main competition venues.

Theme 13: Transport

The Games Park will house eight venues for 15 sports, as well as the Main Media Centre (MMC) and the Commonwealth Games Village (Games Village).

Accommodation for the Commonwealth Games Family (Games Family), media and team officials will be located on the perimeter of the Games Park. The clustered location of these sites means that minimum Games-time transport will be required, with the majority of accredited constituent groups able to reach venues on foot through the pedestrianised Games Park.

Alternatively, a simple and effective internal highway system will make travel between venues very easy; the journey time between the Games Village and Games Park venues will be less than five minutes.

The rail extension will place the Games Park within 5km of a new rail station which has direct links to Hambantota International Airport, Hambantota city, Matara, Galle and other prominent cities across Sri Lanka.

The Games Park is also within 13km of the Hambantota International Airport, allowing access to the Games Park venues and accommodation in 10 minutes.

The Games-time transport systems will provide efficient and effective connections with off-site locations such as key hotels, cultural interest sites and the three competition venues at the Tissa cluster.

A public transport Games The Games will be based on the use of public transport, building on the opportunity made available by historically low car use in Sri Lanka.

Buses will form an integral part of the Games Transport Strategy, using existing buses and the newly acquired fleet which will form part of the improved national bus service post-Games.

A transport legacy By fully utilising public transport, the Games will create a legacy of future public transport use, forming long-term travel habits and showcasing the use of sustainable initiatives across Sri Lanka. The Games will help make P&R and Bus Priority the modes of choice for the future, avoiding significant growth in car use as the area is developed.

Transport developments are helping Hambantota build a new image for itself – that of a world class city built to international standards. This will play a significant role in boosting tourism, both in the District and across Sri Lanka.

Improved transportation to other parts of the country will provide sportsmen and sportswomen from across the country with access to world class sports facilities in the District, for generations to come.

Key objectives The Games’ five key transport objectives are to: • Create a public transport Games – providing a reliable, comfortable, safe and efficient public transport system for 100% of spectators, promoting easy access to the Games venues • Provide a high priority transport service tailored to the specific needs of the Games Family, ensuring punctuality, reliability, comfort, safety and quick and easy access to venues and accommodation • Promote an integrated local, regional and national transport strategy to connect spectators and officials from all parts of Sri Lanka, and internationally • Leave a positive transport legacy – to act as a catalyst for the continued development of the District, based on sustainable transport, limiting the growth in car use • Avoid any unnecessary infrastructure investment that does not benefit Sri Lanka in the long-term, making best use of the existing and planned transport infrastructure.

Games Transport Strategy T1, T2 & T3 Games Family The main Games Family Hotel will be located on the edge of the Games Park, within 2km of all Games Park venues.

Games Family members will be able to walk into the Games Park through a dedicated entrance, or use of the fleet of Games Family cars available for call up to any venue, hotel or other Games destination with a fleet coordination desk at the Games Family Hotel.

Special transport services will be provided during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies to transport Games Family members and other VIPs.

Are there alternative ways to reach the competition and non-competition venues?

Motorways, main roads and parking

Theme 13: Transport

National highway network Sri Lanka’s recent development strategy has focused on enhancing connectivity. The District is set to benefit from greatly improved highway connections, both regionally and nationally.

Access to Hambantota from Colombo The journey time by road from Colombo to Hambantota will be dramatically reduced by a number of new highway schemes already under construction. The route from BIA to Colombo will be improved by the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway and Outer Circular Highway, due for completion in December 2011. The journey time on to Hambantota will be significantly shortened by the extended Southern Highway; a major new link between the west and south of the country. The total journey time between BIA and Hambantota will be around 2 hours 45 minutes.

Hambantota highways Within the District, significant investment is being made in upgrading existing highways to support the development of the area.

There are more than 25 highway schemes planned over the next five years, including widening and upgrading of existing routes and new highways to facilitate the development of urban areas.

3. B562 – Suriyawewa-Mirijjawila Road (No. 25 on Map 13.4.2) • Another primary route linking the city and port area in the south with the Games Park. It will be upgraded to a six lane highway and forms part of the route from the southern and western P&R sites to the Games Park.

4. Northern Games Park Access Road (No. 47 on Map 13.4.2) • A new access road will provide a third access route to the west of the Games Park, linking to the upgraded Bopale Junction-Kiriibbanara Road • This route is primarily intended for service vehicles, providing a short link to the proposed off-site logistics centre. This third access route ensures flexibility and redundancy in routes to/from all the key venues inside the Games Park.

Roads within the Games Park The Games Park will consist of two principal highways: • The external loop will link into the wider highway network and provide access to two Spectator Transport Malls, the Games Village, Games Family Hotel and MMC parking areas.

• The internal loop will be a secure and segregated back-of-house highway used to transport Games Family, media, athletes and officials to their specific venue and for all venue servicing.

Contingency routes The upgraded highway network in the District gives multiple options for accessing the Games. For every major route there is a high quality alternative available.

With the exception of an access road for the Games Park, all proposed highways are part of the development of the District, with funding and commitment already in place for Q13.08 completion prior to 2018 irrespective of the outcome of Use table 13.8 to indicate what is currently available Hambantota’s bid. in terms of main parking areas (location + capacity) and what you estimate are the additional needs during Of the numerous highway schemes in the District, the the Commonwealth Games at competition and nonfollowing will play key roles in the delivery of the Games: competition venues (capacity).

Suriyawewa-Meegahajandura-Kumaragama Road (No. (No.28 on Map 13.4.2) Parking provision • A four lane upgraded highway providing the main None of the competition venues will provide parking for access to the Games Park from the north and south. spectators. All spectators will arrive at venues using public During the Games, it will feed the northern and transport or P&R shuttles. The only public parking available southern Spectator Transport Malls and the northern will be within the purpose-built temporary P&R sites.

P&R site • During the Games, the section of the road between Meegahajandura and Bopale will be closed to all traffic other than public transport or Games Family vehicles.

2. Hambantota-Gonnoruwa-Meegahajandura Road (No. 30a/b on Map 13.4.2) • The main north south road, linking Hambantota city to the Games Park, with a dedicated bus corridor as part of an upgrade to become an eight lane highway • The access road from the new Hambantota International Airport connects to this route around 10km south of the Games Park.

All Games Park venues will have back of house load zones, providing drop-off and pick-up areas for Games Family members, media and athletes, close to their respective entrances.

There will be no parking at any Games Park venue other than that needed for T1 Games Family members and for emergency, operational or service vehicles.

Public transport system A public transport Games As a public transport Games, spectators will access all of the competition venues using the upgraded and improved public bus or rail services and the Games-time P&R shuttles.

The Transport Malls will provide sufficient space to allow loading and unloading, interchange and crowd management, ensuing that the high frequency shuttle bus services can be utilised effectively during peak hours. When necessary, spectators will be held within the Games Park to manage peaks in demand.

Park & Ride (No. 92 on Map 13.4.2) A P&R scheme will form the core of the public transport provision. Three key P&R hubs located to the north, south and west of the Games Park, will be between 8km and 24km from the Spectator Transport Malls they serve.

Spectators will be directed towards the hubs by signage and ticket information, transferring to high frequency shuttle services for the last leg of their journey.

Rail By 2018, the national rail network will provide access from Colombo to Hambantota, using upgraded and newly constructed rail lines, including the Colombo-Katunayake ‘Airport Express’ railway line and the Kataragama extension of the Colombo-Matara line. (No. 50 in Maps 13.4.1 & 13.4.2)

Each P&R hub will provide: • Safe and secure parking for private cars • Registered taxi rank for picking-up and dropping-off • Bus parking for local and regional buses • Coach parking

Theme 13: Transport

• A tuk-tuk rank for picking-up and dropping-off • Dedicated workforce shuttle bus pick-up and drop-off areas.

Regionally, the Beliatta-Embilipitiya-Suriyawewa-MattalaHambantota railway line (No. 51 in Map 13.4.2) will provide access from Hambantota, and direct from Colombo, to Suriyawewa Rail Station, just 5km from the Games Park.

Prior to the Games, training programmes for public transport operators will help improve their English and communication skills and familiarise them with the Games’ venues, timetables and routes, helping them enhance the Games-time experiences of all visitors. The test events will form an integral part of these training programmes.

Additional Transport Hubs will be provided at: • Suriyawewa Rail Station – to shuttle rail passengers to and from the venues • Hambantota International Airport – to shuttle air passengers to and from the venues Bus The extensive national bus network will connect spectators from all over the country. The national bus fleet will be upgraded before 2018 and improved customer information will help international visitors.

Existing local bus services will have their routes adjusted to include the Games Park and other key venues, including the Tissa cluster. Games-specific shuttle buses will run from the key hotel clusters in the south, east and north directly to the Games Park.

A Bus Corridor (No. 53 on Map 13.4.2) will be developed for the Games, linking the Hambantota urban development with Hambantota International Airport and the Games Park.

This will provide a segregated, high capacity route for spectators to access the Games Park, giving priority to buses using limited infrastructure.

Spectator transport malls There will be two Spectator Transport Malls to the north and south of the Games Park, with smaller Spectator Transport Malls at the off-site venues, providing: • P&R shuttle drop-off/pick-up • Direct coach parking • Local bus stops • Workforce drop-off/pick-up.

Q13.17 List your main strategic and operational objectives with regard to traffic management and performance during the Commonwealth Games.

What constraints will be inherent to the project and what contingency plan will you implement in case of a major transport accident, unexpected demand peaks, event rescheduling and adverse weather?

Traffic management

The peak arrival period at the Games Park will be the morning of Day 6, with around 50,000 spectators arriving within a one hour period. The peak period for Games Park departures will be after the Opening Ceremony, when 54,000 spectators will depart within one hour.

A bus shuttle fleet of up to 700 vehicles will take people from the Games Park Spectator Transport Malls back to the P&R hubs or Suriyawewa Railway Station.

The main objectives with regard to traffic management and performance are to: • Ensure priority access for the Games Family and athletes to competition and non-competition venues, ensuring rapid and secure access routes for all Gamesrelated vehicles • Provide excellent access for spectators, workforce and volunteers through enhanced public transport, encourage walking between venues and prevent the use of private vehicles near the Games Park and other venues • Ensure effective communication and co-ordination between the Sri Lanka transport authorities to ensure the seamless and efficient delivery of the Games Transport Strategy • Use Travel Demand Management to help reduce background transport demand on key routes for the Games by promoting alternative modes and times of travel

Local spectators Sri Lankan spectators are anticipated to travel both from within the District and direct from many other major cities • Ensure transport systems are carefully monitored to deliver optimum performance and that necessary including Colombo, Kandy and Galle, using the enhanced alterations and contingency plans can be implemented public transport services, including the new rail line and quickly and effectively. improved bus services.

The District’s highway network, with new and upgraded International spectators roads, will create a high quality traffic environment.

Whilst some spectators will stay within the District, it Combined with the low car use in Sri Lanka, traffic is expected that some will travel directly from tourist destinations on the south coast such as Galle and Matara. presents a much reduced constraint to successful Games delivery than in more densely developed cities.

Direct coach services will run on a demand basis from all major cities, connecting directly to the Games Park The local traffic environment can be carefully monitored Spectator Transport Malls. Rail services will also connect and managed at Games-time. The compact Games Park, Colombo, south coast destinations and the Games Park. served by P&R hubs, means that high capacity vehicles can be quickly deployed to cope with changes in scheduling or in response to traffic incidents. Vehicles and spectators can be held in the P&R hubs in the event that an incident prevents access to the Games Park.

Q13.16 Provide a guarantee that CGF requirements for all transport systems will be met including those by the relevant authorities and the Organising Committee as outlined in the Commonwealth Games Manuals.

Please see Guarantee 13.16 in the Guarantees File.

VOLUME 2 Theme 13 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

The size of the Games Family Fleet and spectator P&R Fleet can cater for peaks in demand and vehicle redundancy. Spare capacity has been built into the Games Transport operation.

Contingency has been planned into the transport operation, with alternative routes available, including bus corridor diversions and additional routes to cope with closures during road events. The three alternative routes for accessing the Games Park and Games Village maintain access should an incident result in one or more of these routes being unavailable

Q13.18 Describe the measures planned to facilitate Commonwealth Games traffic flow, punctuality and reliability, such as breakdown response units or Commonwealth Games traffic lanes, as well as normal traffic restrictions.

Should your measures include Commonwealth Games traffic lanes, please indicate these on Maps B, B1, B2, etc.

Given the compact Games Park, the requirement for comprehensive traffic management is reduced. The highways within 3km of the Games Park and other venues will be secured and non-Games traffic will be prevented from using the routes within this cordon.

Q13.19 Do you plan to link ticketing to transport access and parking?

211

If so, how?

All ticket-holding spectators will have free access to public transport to and from the Games venues using P&R shuttles or regional bus services on the day of their event ticket.

The only available public parking for cars will be within the P&R hubs and this facility will be provided free of charge to ticket-holding spectators.

Advances in ticketing systems will be monitored during the lead up to 2018 to determine options that can assist the integrated ticketing strategy, including travel card tickets for trips on numerous modes.

A comprehensive travel information strategy will be made available to all spectators and web-based technologies will enable spectators to easily access information on the best public transport option available for the day of travel.

• The connected Commonwealth Games Park will have free wireless throughout • A large pool of experienced local Information and Communications Technology professionals to support Games planning and delivery.

Q14.01 Describe the market’s level of openness to competition in the area of telecommunications.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), established under the Sri Lanka Telecommunication (Amendment) Act No. 27 of 1996, is the national regulatory agency for telecommunications across the country.

Telecommunications marketplace

TRCSL will ensure that competition in the market is open, fair and effective.

The Government of Sri Lanka (the Government) opened the domestic telecommunications market to competition in the early 1990s.

A significant step towards the Sri Lankan telecommunications market opening up internationally came with the privatisation of the wholly government owned Sri Lankan Telecom in 1996.

Q14.02 How many licences have been awarded for: • Setting up fixed telephony networks

In 2003, the Government allowed foreign investment into the telecommunications sector by granting licences to foreign owned local companies to provide telecommunication services to the public.

• Supplying second generation (e.g., GSM) and third generation (e.g. UMTS) mobile telephony services

Sri Lanka’s telecommunication industry is now totally open to competition from both domestic and international organisations. Competition between licensed operators is also healthy, proving a great advantage to consumers who benefit from competitive pricing strategies and the drive of operators to grow market share in this sector.

The Government has granted a total of 72 licenses under several categories to provide both data and voice services.

Details of the service category and the number of licences awarded are detailed in Table 14.2.

Q14.03 Indicate whether a regulatory body exists for the market, whether this body is tied to government authorities and who issues the licences.

Sri Lanka has pioneered regional telecommunications advances. As a leading South Asian nation in this field, Sri Lanka established a telecommunications regulatory body, The Office of the Director General of Telecommunications, in 1991 under the Sri Lanka Telecommunications Act, No. 25 of 1991.

An amendment in 1996 (Sri Lanka Telecommunications Act, Amendment, No. 27 of 1996) to the original statute, replaced The Office of the Director General of Telecommunications, with TRCSL. The TRCSL is the national regulatory agency for the telecommunications market in Sri Lanka. It is responsible for the sustained development of the Sri Lankan telecommunications industry by shaping the regulatory process, protecting public interest and being responsive to challenges in an increasingly competitive market.

His Excellency President Mahinda Rajapaksa is the minister empowered under legislation (the Sri Lanka Telecommunications Act, No 25 of 1991) as amended, to grant a licence to any person to operate a telecommunication system in Sri Lanka, on the recommendation of TRCSL.

VOLUME 2 Theme 14 Hambantota 2018 Commonwealth Games Candidate City File

Q14.04 Describe the existing infrastructure and technology networks linking competition and non-competition venues that will support the traffic necessary for the organisation of the Commonwealth Games (telephony, data network, audio and video circuits).

Indicate the existence of any alternative path for back-up purposes. This information must be obtained from potential telecommunications providers.

The District of Hambantota (the District) is currently served by four fixed operators and five cellular mobile operators.

The services provided range from basic telephony to 2G, 3G, WiMAX and ADSL broadband facilities. Financial, health, industrial and academic institutions in the area are all catered for by these services.

In addition to the above mentioned services, the Commonwealth Games Park (the Games Park) will be supported by a state of the art fibre backbone network to cater for the emerging demands of the city and the rest of the projects included in the Greater Hambantota Development Plan.

Since many service providers have already established a presence in the District, contingency plans related to redundancy and backup requirements regarding telecommunications infrastructure are already in place.

Alongside the plans for the Games Park, masterplanners working on the two other major projects in the District; the Hambantota Seaport and the Hambantota International Airport, have already planned to include the necessary telecommunications infrastructure to cater for the new requirements and demand.

In addition, the construction of a 250m tall TRC Tower Hotel (a multi-service telecom tower and hotel replicating the project in Colombo) is currently in the pipeline for Hambantota and will be available to support the Games requirements as appropriate.

The tower will be connected to the international submarine cable landing station to be set up close to the city of Hambantota, due for completion in 2016.

Based on the completion of the proposed infrastructure, an assurance can be provided that cutting edge technologies capable of delivering High Definition video transmission and high speed data/broadband connectivity will be available to all competition and non-competition venues by 2016.

Figure 14.4 shows the technology infrastructure that will be in place.

All competition and non-competition venues will be connected to a Main Communication Control Hub (MCCH), part of the Technology Operations Centre, with two high speed fibre links ensuring adequate redundancy.

Additional high speed wireless links will be provided at each venue to provide contingency support if required.

The MCCH will be served by all service providers in order to meet bandwidth capacity requirements for data/ internet, PSTN (Fixed-Mobile) and Broadcasting Services.

Games technology infrastructure will be developed based on the following key facilities: • Fibre Network to deliver high speed DSL/ADSL services

Q14.05 For each competition and non-competition venue, describe the current capacity (number of simultaneously supported communications) of the mobile network by carrier.

217

Indicate whether all the roads linking all competition and non-competition venues are also fully covered by these carriers.

The District is currently served by all five cellular mobile operators, four of which have state of the art high speed 3G capabilities.

• 2G, 3G, WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks to deliver wireless broadband connectivity

With the current developments beginning to emerge, all operators are dedicated to service this important and lucrative area and offer extensive capacity and coverage including all access routes in and around the District.

Q14.06 If additional infrastructure for fixed and mobile networks is required to support the organisation of the Commonwealth Games, describe this infrastructure and list which carriers are prepared to build it.

Will these carriers charge the OC to build this additional infrastructure or will the OC only be charged for the usage service based on standard tariffs in effect in the country at Games time?

Theme 14: Technology

Sri Lanka has the reputation of being South Asia’s telecommunications pioneer and was the first country in the region to introduce 2G and 3G mobile telecommunication services.

Q14.07 Indicate the body(ies) responsible (and any ties) for controlling and allocating the frequencies necessary for radio transmissions.

Frequency control The TRCSL is responsible for controlling the radio frequency spectrum and allocating the frequencies required for wireless transmissions. TRCSL is also responsible for handling issues related to radio frequency allocations and interference mitigation issues.

In the past, the TRCSL has taken timely decisions and regulatory action to clear certain frequency bands and re-locate them depending on the market requirements.

As a result of this advanced approach, Sri Lankan mobile operators had the capability of launching High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) services at a very early stage.

In fact, Sri Lanka was the seventh country in the world to introduce such high speed mobile broadband services.

The TRCSL’s continuous and proactive approach to telecommunications has greatly influenced Sri Lanka’s recognition as the regional leader with respect to the introduction of wireless technologies such as 2G, 3G, HSPA and WiMAX.

As a result, there is a high degree of confidence that the deployment of LTE networks will take place in the near future and consequently, that most of the mobile subscribers across the country will be able to utilise high speed 4G services.

All issues regarding radio frequency equipment usage, including granting permission to import satellite uplink facilities and any other transmitting devices, falls under the remit of the TRCSL.

The development of a high speed national fibre backbone network is a high priority Government project for 2011.

This network will facilitate the requirements of high speed connectivity throughout the country, including the massive development projects currently taking place in the southern part of Sri Lanka.

The development cost of this or any additional infrastructure will not be passed onto the Hambantota 2018 Organising Committee (the OC).

The OC will be required to pay the usage charges as per the TRCSL approved tariffs. However, any development cost will be borne by either the Government or by the individual operators.

The TRCSL has the capability to continuously monitor radio frequency activities in the area and physically identify the spectrum usage in any band in advance, making available the required frequency bands by eliminating unwanted emissions.

In the lead up to the Games, the TRCSL will empower a Games Coordination Committee, led by the TRCSL Director General, in order to facilitate all necessary radio frequency requirements for the Games.

The required spectrum will be available for the variety of wireless technologies used during the Games including voice and data networks, Local Area Networks, microwave backbone links, Electronic News Gathering (ENG) requirements in the broadcasting sector, high definition video transmissions and low power wireless devices.

The OC, with the full support of the TRCSL, guarantees that there will be more than adequate radio frequency bandwidth available to meet the demands of the Games.

The TRCSL is currently exploring the possibility of spectrum sharing and liberalising spectrum usage. These regulatory measures will facilitate the effective usage of, and faster access to, radio spectrum thereby making more advanced wireless technologies available faster at affordable prices.

• Athletes • CGF • OCs

Q14.12 How many subscribers are there to such networks?

• IFs • Media

There are circa 50,000 subscribers in the present trunk system. This is anticipated to increase to 100,000 within the next two years.

• Broadcasters • Commonwealth Games partners Please see Guarantee 14.09 in the Guarantees File.

Q14.10 Are there frequencies allocated to trunk radio type services?

Private radio networks Trunk radio communication services are currently available in Sri Lanka.

TRCSL has allocated frequencies in the 800 MHz band for trunk radio services (806-821 MHz, 851-866 MHz).

In addition, TRCSL has reserved the frequencies in the 400 MHz band to accommodate new trunk systems that will be needed for the Games.

Media accommodation will be provided through:

Transport

• A cluster of six three to five-star hotels located just beyond the Games Park perimeter boundary

Media operations will be fully supported by a dedicated, reliable, fast and accessible transport network.

The service will be supplied free of charge for accredited media professionals and will connect to all key locations, including media hotel accommodation, the MMC, Hambantota International Airport, Bandaranayake International Airport (Colombo) and all competition and non-competition venues.

• The planned 400-room TRC Tower hotel, located 7km from the Games Park, towards the Hambantota International Airport.

A total of 1,400 rooms will be provided of which 1,000 will be located no more than 1km from the MMC and Games Park. This means that the majority of media will be within minutes of the Games action.

Each hotel will offer a range of modern leisure and amenity facilities to meet the comfort, convenience and quality expectations of media professionals.

Restaurants and bars across the media hotels will be co-ordinated to ensure that food and drink is available for all accredited media at all hours and to a consistently high standard.

To account for the required early opening of the MMC, Games-specific media accommodation will be appropriately scheduled to ensure availability at the guaranteed rates.

Designated media hotel accommodation is detailed in Table 15.2 below.

One of the greatest benefits of the overall Games concept is that many of the key facilities are located within a 2km radius of the centre of the Games Park.

In addition to the MMC, the Games Park will house eight competition venues hosting 15 sports. Much of the media accommodation will be located just beyond the Games Park perimeter.

Airports Games volunteers stationed at the Hambantota International Airport will provide a 24-hour service to guide media professionals through immigration and accreditation procedures and escort them to dedicated shuttle buses for quick and reliable transfer to and from their respective accommodation in approximately 10 minutes. A similar service will also be provided at the Bandaranayake International Airport (Colombo) with an average transfer time of 2 hours 45 minutes to the respective accommodation.

Between competition venues Within the Games Park, the easiest way to move between the competition venues will be on foot. However, dedicated media bus services will be provided from dedicated load zones at each venue, offering a maximum travel time of five minutes between any two venues.

Travel times between the Games Park competition venues, the Ranminithenna Shooting Range, Triathlon and Road and Time Trial Cycling venues will not be longer than 38 minutes.

Sri Lankan labour laws only apply to Sri Lankan broadcasters and networks and will not apply to broadcasters and personnel who are in Sri Lanka on a temporary basis. Similarly, Sri Lankan labour union laws will only apply to those who are members of that union.

Q15.06 Would broadcasters or the HBO, and their personnel, normally be subject to specific taxes for broadcasting work such as taxes on production and/or equipment?

Explain.

Foreign broadcasters and the HBO will be subject to Sri Lankan taxes if they are deemed to carry out business activities in Sri Lanka and derive income in Sri Lanka from those activities.

If broadcasting services are provided to overseas customers, there would be no liability to Sri Lankan taxes, however, any such services provided to domestic customers will attract liability to Sri Lankan taxes.

Broadcaster personnel will not be subject to Sri Lankan personal income tax if they are paid by a foreign employer and they are not resident in Sri Lanka for 183 days or more in any given tax year. In addition, these personnel will not be subject to the EPF and ETF requirements (the Sri Lankan equivalent of Social Security taxes).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Government has confirmed that it will introduce legislation as necessary to guarantee that people temporarily entering Sri Lanka to carry out Games-related business (including broadcasters and journalists) will not be subject to Sri Lankan tax on revenues they earn in relation to the work that they perform at the Games.

In the event that a local broadcaster is awarded the rights to broadcast/telecast the Games, this entity will be subject to the normal Sri Lanka tax regime.
