What we heard

Sports participation is an important aspect of community life as it contributes to people’s health and wellbeing and creates community connections.

We commit to our sporting clubs by providing community sports infrastructure and facilities, as well as programs that support participation and build capability.

The Sporting Facilities User Guide and Allocation Policy and the Sporting Facilities Capital Works Policy will guide the management, criteria for use, allocation and framework for the development of our sports facilities in Banyule.
