REPORT
Background

The 2016 Noosa Social Strategy recommended Council develop a Sport and Active Recreation
Plan (The Plan) in 2016/2017.

The Sport and Active Recreation Plan will be a guiding document for the ongoing development of
the sport and active recreation sector in the Noosa Shire. The Plan aims to provide an
understanding of the current position and potential for future development of the local sport and
active recreation sector including participation, facilities and service provision. It identifies the
providers of services and facilities to Noosa residents and actions to improve participation, facility
development and service provision.

The development of the Draft Sport and Active Recreation Plan was progressed through a Sport
and Active Recreation Community Reference Group.

Summary of the Draft Plan
Proposed Vision
The Draft Plan proposes the following vision:
“Increased opportunities for everyone to participate in sport and active recreation, so they can
achieve life-long physical and mental health benefits.”
