Community Pedometer Loan Scheme
During 2008 - 2009 there were two Bundaberg Region 10,000 steps Community Challenges held in our district where members of the public and workplaces were able to loan pedometers to take part in the challenge of walking 10,000 steps per day for 5 weeks. The most recent challenge ended on 22 March 2009.
The Sport and Recreation Section of Council will continue to loan pedometers to the community through our Community Pedometer Loan Scheme. Bundaberg Regional Council residents who wish to loan a pedometer may access them via any of the following outlets: Sport and Recreation Section of Council at the School of Arts Building - next door to the Bundaberg Administration Centre, or via any of our three Service Centres at Bargara, Childers or Gin Gin during office hours. Pedometers may also be borrowed via the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre.
