Draft strategy summary:

In preparation for the development of Council’s Physical Activity Strategy, a range of consultation methods were undertaken to establish a clear picture of Maroondah’s current participation levels, reasons for non-participation and community needs.

The draft strategy highlights current challenges that may affect the physical activity levels of the general community and specific populations, as well as outlining a range of tailored approaches and opportunities for Council to assist in overcoming these barriers.

To address the highlighted challenges and make moving more often an easier option, the strategy focuses on four key outcome areas for Council action:

  1. Increasing active travel
  2. Spaces and places that encourage physical activity
  3. Supporting diversity in sport
  4. Connecting with our least active residents

The goal is to undertake measurable actions over the next five years. The key directions and priority actions identified in the strategy will guide the development of new policies, infrastructure improvements, programs and collaborative initiatives to improve practices, respond to demonstrated need, increase access and encourage residents to prioritise physical activity in their daily routine.

Learn more about these strategies and action plans in the FAQs section on this page.
