Consultation has concluded

As our community evolves we need to ensure our recreation strategy readily adapts to community needs and the changing sport and recreation landscape in Manningham.

Since the original strategy was adopted in 2010 we’ve made significant investments into sport and recreation infrastructure across Manningham, and many of the items on the strategies original action plan have now been fulfilled.

We sought community feedback on the draft Active for Life Recreation Strategy 2010-2025 (2019 Review) during October/November 2019.

    • The Active for Life Recreation Strategy (2010-25) was developed to enable Manningham to become a healthy and more active community.
    • Significant investment has enabled many of the original strategy’s key milestones to be achieved.
    • Since 2010 our population has grown by 11% and is forecast to grow an additional 14.9% by 2036.
    • Due to population growth and healthy living initiatives organised sport participation has risen including a significant increase in female participation in sport.
    • Our population is changing: we are more multicultural, people are living longer and lifestyles are becoming more sedentary with people feeling significantly time pressured.
    • National and State sport and health strategies are focusing on increasing physical activity levels amongst all age groups.
    • Refreshing the Active for Life Recreation Strategy (2010-25) enables us to reflect our changing community and better meet their needs.
    • Following research, data analysis and consultation to identify opportunities and challenges, 4 new priority areas have been determined. These priority areas focus on provision of flexible, multi-use and durable spaces, collaboration with key stakeholders, fostering inclusion for all and building community capacity.
