Introduction/Background

Project Overview

West Wimmera Shire Council and Tredwell Management Services are developing a ‘Sport and Recreation Strategy’ to inform Council’s policy and planning frameworks and the development and delivery of sport and active infrastructure, programming, and services for the period 2023-2033.

West Wimmera Shire Council seeks to build strong and engaged communities where diversity, participation and healthy lifestyles are encouraged and valued. To do this is it is important that appropriate infrastructure and programming is available in the shire to encourage participation and engagement in sport and active recreation. West Wimmera Shire Council is committed to collaborating with partner agencies and community groups to ensure a holistic approach which capitalises on the benefits and outcomes for the West Wimmera community.

The WWSC Sport and Recreation Strategy will consider the provision of community sport and active recreation infrastructure, participation, and programming opportunities in the Shire to inform Council’s infrastructure, programming, and community support planning for the next 10 years.

The strategy will be a major step towards providing a clear direction for sport and active recreation in the shire, providing places where residents and visitors are encouraged and drawn to participate in sport and active recreation activities.
