Sport and Recreation Strategy 2025-2035

Hindmarsh Shire Council has developed a draft Sport and Recreation Strategy for 2025 – 2035 based on initial input from sporting clubs, community members and stakeholders and is now seeking final feedback before the Strategy is formally adopted for implementation.

The Hindmarsh Shire Council Sport and Recreation Strategy 2025-2035 aims to provide a clear long-term plan to develop and promote sport and recreation within Hindmarsh Shire with the following priorities at the centre of proposed actions:

• Increase participation in sport and recreation;
• Support community wellbeing, including mental and physical health;
• Improve facilities and open spaces;
• Provide support for clubs and volunteers;
• Promote equity, diversity and inclusion; and
• Foster partnerships and collaboration.

The Sport and Recreation Strategy was developed by compiling community and stakeholder consultation feedback, including in-person sessions held at Sporting Clubs in 2024, and the Sport and Recreation Project Pipeline that has been informed by community action plans, masterplans, maintenance plans, and the Council Plan.
