What is happening now?
The Recreation Needs Study - A Healthier Inner West is a research project undertaken into recreation needs, facilities, and services in the Inner West. The study provides Council with an evidence base and strategic framework for effective recreation, open space, infrastructure, and financial planning for the next ten years. The six themes proposed in the study will inform the development of the Inner West Recreation Policy and Strategy. The themes can be found on page 72 under the heading ‘Recreation Needs and Gap Analysis’ and include:
Theme 1 – Existing gaps in open space and recreation
Theme 2 – Future demand for open space and recreation
Theme 3 – Capacity for sports and recreation
Theme 4 – Inclusion and sharing
Theme 5 – Connections with nature
Theme 6 – Streets and laneways for walking, cycling and play
Your feedback is important and will help to ensure the proposed strategic framework meets the needs now and into the future. Council has released the study for public exhibition and now is seeking the community’s feedback on the strategic framework outlined in the study. Please complete the survey below to let Council know your thoughts.
What happens next?
Following the engagement period, the feedback will inform appropriate amendments to the study before the final Recreation Needs Study - A Healthier Inner West will be considered for Council’s endorsement.
