But per FAI rules, no Club Class glider can have a span of greater than 15 meters. It is not just a performance range, as permitted here in the US.
The HP-14 is a wonderful sailplane. Maybe not the easiest to fly well, but certainly not difficult to fly. And, there is one for sale there in Oz.

Std Cirrus at 16m is on the IGC club class handicap list so span alone may not disqualify
