Active and Healthy Greater Bendigo Framework 2022

The Active and Healthy Greater Bendigo Framework 2022 is decision-making tool to guide how the City supports and invests in sport and active recreation.

The City already supports and invests in sport and active recreation in a number of ways by designing, constructing, maintaining and enhancing: family play spaces, swimming pools and a splash park, sporting fields and facilities, skate parks, BMX tracks, parks and gardens and natural reserves. The City also supports local sporting clubs by providing governance support, financial information, and guidance regarding facility hire and usage.

The Framework will explain the City’s role in providing sport and active recreation opportunities and will be a rulebook for how we make decisions about sport and active recreation projects, programs and activities.

The Framework was developed in consultation with key City staff and the previous Council in 2019. We also asked for feedback from the key community stakeholders who use our sport and active recreation facilities in 2022. The Framework was adopted by Council 25 July 2022.
