Recreation & Open Space
What we value
We have access to a range of opportunities to participate in organised sporting activities and recreational pursuits.
Our natural environment and recreation areas provide abundant opportunities for outdoor activities including horse-riding, bushwalking, camping, swimming and fishing.
There are many facilities and opportunities for active recreation such as swimming pools, horse-riding, dog off-leash areas, cycleways, greenways, walking trails, skate parks, exercise centres, golf courses and tennis courts.
Priorities for the future
Co-operative planning will be required to ensure that our local parks and sporting and recreational facilities are adequate in meeting the needs of our growing population.
It is important to our community that appropriate public access to nearby national parks and reserves be maintained for recreational use.
We need to raise public awareness of the benefits of local sporting and recreational facilities and activities in contributing to community health and wellbeing.
Our goal
We have access to a range of places, activities and facilities which cater for diverse sporting and recreational pursuits.
