Consultation has concluded
We currently manage around 32 sports fields and multiple hard courts in various locations across Queanbeyan-Palerang, with more facilities coming into service as new housing developments are built. Some current and future facilities are incorporated into sporting hubs or as standalone multi-use complexes.Others are single isolated fields with limited amenities and capacity.
The Sports Facilities Strategic Plan has broad strategies and recommendations to guide us in the provision of sporting facilities over the next 20 years.
The six key strategies developed for future provision ofsporting facilities have recommendations which aim to ensure all sporting needs are addressed and opportunities for recreation, health and well-being cover the whole community:
Strategy 1 – Sporting Clusters or Hubs Goal: Establishment and careful management of integrated sporting hubs strategically found throughout the LGA
Strategy 2 – Facility Rationalisation Goal: Optimised land use and return on investment for capital and operational funds
Strategy 3 – Provide High Level Sporting Opportunities Goal: Increase capacity for QPRC-based clubs and reduce the cross-border drain of sporting talent:
Strategy 4 – Provide Home Facility for all QPRC Based Clubs Goal: Cut the need for QPRC-based clubs to transfer home games into the ACT
Strategy 5 – Provide Accessible and Equitably Distributed Unstructured Recreational Facilities throughout QPRC Area Goal: Provide opportunities for recreation, health and well-being for the whole community
Strategy 6 – Economic Development through Sports Goal: Sports and Recreational events and activities contribute an ongoing economic return to the community
The Plan also has a schedule of site and club-specific recommendations for capital improvements and facilities rationalisation that can inform future budgets.
