Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy

This consultation has concluded.

Draft Plan Now Out For Comment

This Open Space Sport and Recreation Strategy has been developed based on the existing studies completed for the former Mirani, Sarina and Mackay local government areas. The plan has been informed further by consultation with the community and identifies a five year strategy for Council's planning and provision of open space, sport and recreation. One of the main challenges in preparing this strategy was to develop an approach that reflected the higher level of planning needed for the newly formed Mackay Regional Council. Integral to this is the need to develop a basis for decision making that accommodates the wider scope of consideration required for the regional communities as well as recognising that Council still has significant resource constraints.

The plan seeks to define a regional context for the planning and provision of parks, sport and recreation and proposes a new framework for the management and delivery of sport and recreation opportunities. This plan also integrates recommendations from the recently completed Aquatic Facilities Study and the Sarina Indoor Centre Feasibility Study.

The plan proposes a number of recommendations for action over the next five plus years and these recommendations have been grouped into the following categories:

Planning, Administration and Management

Facilities and Infrastructure

Services and Programs
