Expressions of interest now open

Would you like to have a say in the development, enhancement, and promotion of sport and recreational activities within our community? The Sport and Recreation Reference Group and Aquatic Facilities Working Group is an opportunity for community members to have input on Council's approach across our Shire.

Background

In 2024, Council reviewed and updated its 2018-2028 Sports Facilities Strategy. The strategy details our vision, principles, strategy and actions to provide sports and recreation facilities over the ten years. Feedback during the review supported the establishment of two new community reference groups, one specifically for the aquatic facility and the other for sport and recreation in general.

Join the Reference Group or Aquatic Working Group

If you would like to participate, please submit an expression of interest via this page by 31 January 2025. We will then be in contact with further details.

Anyone involved in sport and rec is encouraged to submit an EOI. If you're a member of a club or community group, or if you're involved with local primary or secondary schools, allied health care providers or residential care facilities, we want to hear from you.

What's the commitment?

Group meetings will be held every six months, out of regular work hours for a duration of an hour and a half (and at other times by agreement between the members). Meeting locations are yet to be determined. You will also receive correspondence outside of set meeting times, depending on agreed actions.

Members will be appointed for a 2-year term.

Membership of the group is voluntary, and there is no payment of expenses in relation to attending activities or meetings of the Group.

We look forward to working with you!
