Volunteer to help shape new sports plan

Council is calling for volunteers with a keen interest in community sport and recreation to help prepare a new sport and active recreation plan for the shire.

Councillor Joe Jurisevic said Noosa was renowned for being an active and sports-minded community and the new Noosa Sport and Active Recreation Plan would set priorities for Council and stakeholders to work toward.

“We’re assembling the reference group to help develop the plan and determine priorities for sport and active recreation. Anyone interested should get in touch with Council,” he said.

“The reference group will look at local sporting opportunities, facilities and the needs of Noosa’s 100+ sports clubs, as well as the thousands of residents who take part in these activities each week,” Cr Jurisevic said.

The group will include volunteer members who represent a mix of different ages and interests, plus the State Government and Council staff.

Community representatives will need to attend five or six meetings between September 2016 and 30 June 2017, with the possibility of completing some tasks outside of meeting times.

To be considered, register you interest by emailing an outline of your experience and interests in sport and active recreation in Noosa to commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au by COB 14 September 2016.
