Sport is a big part of life on the Central Coast. From weekend games and training nights, our sport and recreation spaces bring people together and support a healthy, active community.

Council is developing a Sport Infrastructure Master Plan to make sure these facilities keep pace with our growing and changing community.

This long-term plan will guide how Council plans, improves and invests in Council-managed sport and recreation facilities across the Central Coast over the next 10 years, and community and club input will help shape that direction.

Share your experiences using local sport and recreation facilities and tell us what you think will be needed in the future. Your feedback will help shape Council’s 10-year Sport Infrastructure Master Plan.

Register and complete the survey to go in the draw to win one of five $100 Sportspower Ulverstone vouchers!

Terms & conditions apply.

Local sporting clubs and organisations are also being invited to take part in direct conversations about their activities, challenges and longer-term plans.

You do not need to be part of a club to participate. Anyone who uses or cares about local sport and recreation spaces is encouraged to have their say.

If you need help to take part, Council staff can assist you to complete the survey over the phone.

Printed surveys are available from the Council Administration Centre and the Penguin Service Centre.

Feedback from the community and from sporting clubs will be considered alongside information such as participation trends, population change and the condition of existing facilities.

This combined evidence will inform a draft Sport Infrastructure Master Plan that sets long-term priorities for Council-managed sport and recreation facilities.

The draft plan will be released for community review so people can provide further comment before it is finalised and presented to Council for endorsement.

The final Master Plan will guide future decisions about planning and investment. Any individual projects or funding commitments would still be considered separately at a later time.

The Sport Infrastructure Master Plan is a long-term strategic guide for Council-managed sport and recreation facilities.

It will review the facilities that exist today, consider how they are being used, and look at what the community is likely to need in the future. From this, it will set clear priorities to inform future decisions about upgrades and investment across the region.

The Master Plan itself does not deliver construction projects or commit funding. Instead, it provides an agreed, evidence-based direction so that future decisions can be made consistently and transparently.

Any specific works or funding commitments would still need to be considered separately by Council through its normal processes.

Good quality, well planned facilities make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to take part in sport and recreation. They also help local clubs remain strong and sustainable and ensure community spaces are welcoming and well used.

As the Central Coast grows and changes, demands on facilities change too. Looking at the full network of facilities together allows Council to plan ahead, respond to emerging needs and make better use of existing spaces.

Taking this coordinated, long-term view helps ensure future investment is fair, practical and based on real community need.
