Overview

We are responsible for 1158 recreation and open space assets in the region, including sporting facilities, parks and reserves and aquatic facilities, which we are committed to keeping up-to-date for our community.

This year’s draft 2024/2025 budget, delivery program and operational plan focuses heavily on renewals and investment into our current buildings and assets so we can continue to provide a broad variety of services to deliver social, cultural, health and wellbeing outcomes.

Through collaboration with a range of groups including sporting councils, art and cultural groups and government agencies we are able to provide buildings and assets that make our - region vibrant and safe.
