Since 2001, data has been collected on participation in exercise, recreation and sport by adults aged 15 years
and over. Consistent data was collected via the Exercise, Recreation and Sport Survey (ERASS)7 between
2001 and 2010. Similar data was collected by the ABS 8 between 2011 and 2014. The AusPlay 9 survey was
introduced by the Australian Sports Commission in 2016 and collects sports participation data for children
aged 0-14 and adults aged 15 years and over.
While it is not possible to accurately compare results across the three surveys due to differences in data
collection, some trends are worth noting in relation to outdoor multi-use sports facilities like the Cooroy
Sports Complex.
• 2016, 2017 and 2018 AusPlay data revealed that recreational walking, athletics (including jogging and
running), football/ soccer, touch football, tennis, and netball featured in the top 15 activities
participated in by Queensland adults.
• AusPlay data shows that football/ soccer, gymnastics, rugby league, athletics, netball, cricket and
tennis featured in the top 10 activities participated in by Queensland children in 2016, 2017 and
2018.
• Of the top ten club-based sports participated in by adults in 2016, 2017 and 2018, five are field or
court sports, indicating that a strong preference for club-based field sports remains. The top sports
were football/ soccer, golf, netball, tennis, basketball, touch football, swimming, athletics and rugby
league.
