3   Key Findings of Draft Plans

Common key findings identified in the consultation and research for the Draft Noosa District
Sports Complex and Cooroy Sports Complex Master Plans include:
 Overall, participation in the sports located at the Complexes is a mix of static and increasing
   membership
 The facilities generally require upgrades in response to their age and condition and in order
   to provide for changes in sport participation and facility provision trends
 Council has a strong policy on environment sustainability which the clubs support, but the
   facilities do not all comply; and
 Most clubs have invested in the formation of development/expansion/improvement plans for
   the sport and facilities

4   Vision and Intent of the draft Master Plans

The vision and intent of the draft Master Plans build upon the vision and principles of the Noosa
Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2018. The vision of the Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2018
is:
“Increased opportunities for everyone to participate in sport and active recreation so they can
achieve life-long physical and mental health benefits.”

Additionally, all five principles of the Sport and Active Recreation Plan provide guidance for the
Complexes and the Master Plans, with the key elements being:
 Grass roots participation
 Facilities are fit for purpose
