Do we need more sport and recreation facilities?

Local residents have been given the opportunity to help shape the future of outdoor activities in Campbelltown.

Strategies to manage sport and recreation facilities for the next generation include submissions from the ratepayers.

Campbelltown City Council has engaged sport and leisure planning consultants Otium Planning Group and Oneighty Sport and Leisure Solutions to assist in creating the strategies.

But they also want to hear your thoughts.

Residents are encouraged to share their ideas on play spaces in Campbelltown at community workshops to be held at Campbelltown Civic Centre next Monday, February 8 from 6pm to 7.30pm and again on Tuesday, February 9 from 10.30am to noon.

The sessions will provide an overview of the strategy and seek feedback on proposed ideas.

Residents can also contribute their ideas via an online survey before Friday, February 12.

Community feedback on the future of sport and recreation in Campbelltown is also sought, with residents encouraged to share their ideas at community workshops to be held at Campbelltown Civic Centre on Wednesday, February 10, from 7pm to 9pm and at Macarthur Square Shopping Centre, Level 1 opposite the customer service desk, on Thursday, February 11 from 10am to noon and 6pm to 8pm. Residents can also have their say through an online survey until February 22.

Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Hawker, said council recognised the importance of sport and recreation to the community and was committed to developing a comprehensive plan to achieve the best results for residents.

“Campbelltown is experiencing major growth, and we need to ensure that our investment in recreational facilities and play spaces supports the long term needs of our community,” Cr Hawker said.

“The development of a play space strategy and a sport and recreation strategy will be vital to future planning and will help to guide council in the provision of facilities and services to the community for years to come.

“I encourage residents to get involved and share their ideas, and help to shape the future of sport and recreation in our city,” Cr Hawker said.
