THE City of Coffs Harbour is developing a 15-year Sport and Active Recreation Strategy, with residents invited to have their say.
“This is the first step to help us discover how our sport and rec facilities might be best managed,” City Planning and Communities Acting Director Ian Fitzgibbon said.
“Tell us what’s working well now, what could be better, and how we can best position for the future.”
The City has engaged Otium Planning Group, specialists in sport, recreation, and leisure planning, to assist in developing a draft strategy.
There are a few ways you can share your thoughts.
● Visit the Have Your Say webpage and complete an easy and quick survey
● Head along to a Community Pop Up at the Coffs Central Growers’ Market (8-11am on Thursday 14 November).
All survey participants will go in the draw to win one of two family passes to the Sydney Sixers v Adelaide Strikers Big Bash cricket match in January.
“With your help, the draft strategy will be a guide to create spaces for all – facilities which encourage more people to get involved and stay active,” Mayor Nikki Williams said.
Workshops will also be run with sports clubs, umbrella associations and management committees.
The draft strategy will set out the priorities for the City’s facilities and identify actions over the short, medium, and long term.
Implementation will rely on a mix of City planning, available resources, and external funding opportunities through NSW and Federal Government programs.
The draft strategy is expected to go to Council around April next year, when the elected body may resolve to put it out for public exhibition and feedback.
