Promoting access for all in sport
We are currently inviting community feedback on a number of projects that support access for all in local sport.
This Girl Can
We know physical activity and exercise leads to good health and wellbeing, that’s why we want to see as many women, girls and LGBTQI+ women being active as possible.
To support this, we are partnering with Sports Focus, to plan the Victorian Government’s This Girl Can campaign later this year.
This Girl Can is a campaign aims to inspire women to get active – however, wherever and whenever they choose, without being judged.
To help us develop a program of activities that meets the needs of our community – we need your input.
How do I get involved?
We invite you to share your experiences, feelings, challenges and beliefs when it comes to participating in sport by completing the survey below.
Feedback is open until 3pm Friday 19 July, 2024
Draft Fair Access Policy
We are wanting feedback on our draft Fair Access Policy that seeks to address known barriers, so everyone in our community has the opportunity to participate in community sport and use community sports infrastructure.
This policy will ensure that women, girls, men and boys, gender diverse people and people with disability can fully participate in and enjoy the benefits of community sport, with fair opportunity and equitable access to their local facilities.
The policy intends to establish the expectation that gender equality is considered and prioritised in all current and future planning, policy, service delivery and practice as they relate to community sports infrastructure.
Your insights and experiences are invaluable as we strive to ensure equal opportunities and access for everyone within our community.
How do I get involved?
We are inviting the community to provide feedback on the draft Fair Access Policy.
The purpose of this first round of community engagement on the Draft Fair Access Policy is to raise awareness.
For many, this will be the first time you have heard about the Victorian Government’s Fair Access Policy.
Next steps
When the Policy is adopted by Council in August, our Recreation team will work directly with local sporting clubs and community organisations to provide education around what the Policy will mean for them.
Feedback is invited until 3pm, Friday 19 July, 2024.
