‘Living Active’ Sport and Recreation Plan 2015-2020 and Policy

12 May 2015

This consultation is now closed.

The City of Unley has recently endorsed the ‘Living Active’ Sport and Recreation Plan 2015-2020.

Following significant consultation over the past two years, the Plan was developed in house with the purpose of guiding Council over the next five years to:

  • Support local sport and recreation clubs and groups to be self-sufficient, sustainable and to thrive;
  • To increase awareness of the health benefits of physical activity and increase the overall physical fitness of our population;
  • Assist with planning and funding for future facility development and maintenance of our sport and recreation facilities

The Plan provides a series of actions under four key themes:

  1. People and Participation: a focus on the provision of opportunities for the community to be healthy and active;
  2. Planned Places: provision of recreation spaces, facilities and equipment to encourage physical activity;
  3. Partnerships: working with external agencies, businesses and organisations to deliver healthy community outcomes; and
  4. Sustainability: a commitment to the smart and efficient management of the provision of sport and recreation initiatives and facilities.
