Council is currently developing a new sport and recreation strategy, Active Warrnambool 2025-2035.
The strategy will guide the planning, provision, management, and developmental priorities for a range of sport and recreation facilities and programs in Warrnambool for the next 10 years.
The next Warrnambool Sport and Recreation Strategy will build on the success of the previous strategy which, from 2019, delivered 22 sport and recreation projects valued at more than $17 million. The new strategy will look to build on this work and define the strategic investments required to meet the needs of our growing community. The strategy will also inform facility provision standards that will determine the types of facilities and level of investment that is required across the network of Council owned or managed reserves across the city.
These standards will aim to provide equity in facility provision so all residents can enjoy access to quality and compliant sport and recreation assets.
The aim is to develop a well-structured and evidenced based strategy that provides fair and equitable access to sport and recreation facilities across all sections of the community and is based on existing and future demands.
It will focus on municipal level provision, services and programs that maximizes opportunities for participation for all.
