What we heard - Help shape the future of recreation in the Inner West!

25 May 2026

From 12 August to 23 September 2025, Council invited young women, girls, and gender diverse people aged 12–24 to share their thoughts on recreation, sports, and activities in the Inner West. The aim was to better understand what’s currently enjoyed, what’s missing, and how we can make recreation more fun, inclusive and accessible for everyone.
