The Regional Sport and Recreation Strategy will guide how Bundaberg Regional Council plans,
delivers and supports sport and recreation opportunities for residents and the community.
The Strategy has been developed by project consultants ROSS Planning following the review of existing strategies, consultation with the community and stakeholders.
“This Strategy identifies the highest priorities for action and how Council can support community groups to continue their important role in delivering sport and recreation opportunities,” Mayor Lorraine Pyefinch said.
The Strategy establishes region-wide priorities and supports broad-based sport and active recreation participation that use Council's existing resources effectively.
Some of the key region-wide recommendations of the Strategy include:
- Developing a Sport Advisory Board.
- Creating local environments that support active, healthy communities and lifestyles.
- Biennial forum for key community based sport and recreation organisations.
- Promotion of Council’s parks and walk-cycle networks.
- Develop an Open Space Plan that meets the needs of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
- Education, Training and Club Development program.
- Develop and Outdoor Recreation Strategy.
