In 2026 Wyndham is estimated to house 323,567 residents, many of which will participate in over 94 different sport and active recreation pursuits. In 2045, 450,000 residents will play their preferred sport through an integrated network of facilities which enable the whole community to lead physical, mental and socially well lives. Through the principles of best value, maximise participation, social impact and sustainable partnerships Wyndham will “Establish an integrated and sustainable sports facility network across the municipality which will benefit the physical, mental and social wellness of the whole community now and in 2045.” Sport and active recreation is a cornerstone in community life, sports facilities and networks are integral to the wellbeing of the community providing platforms for: mental and physical wellbeing; social connection; the local economy; skill development for employment; and cultural and generational awareness and understanding. Across Wyndham 98 sports activities are participated in by 77% of the population. Sporting opportunities are provided by over 331 clubs, organisations and businesses at 132 venues. Facilities are located in warehouses, parks, community centres, schools, the river, bay and houses.

The older residents become the more likely they are to engage in sports at a time that suits them with reduced commitment to organised and paid activities. Males and females differ in the way they want to play the same and different sports. Cultural influences including the cultural significance of family and community also impact on how residents seek to engage. The consultation period of the strategy establishes six priorities which guides the delivery of an integrated sports facility network, and which will enable residents to lead healthy and well lives. Priority 1: Capitalise on sport and active recreation improving individual and community Health and Wellbeing Priority 2: Connect families to the value of sport and recreation to instil a lifelong journey of sporting participation Priority 3: Enable Local Access, fundamental to the community’s participation in sport and active recreation vi Priority 4: Provide diverse ways to participate in sport and active recreation through facilitating traditional, non-traditional, organised and unorganised opportunities Priority 5: Embed multi-use into the network to create a culture of inclusive places that support the different ways the community wants to participate, which can evolve over time. Priority 6: Uphold the importance of Sustainable Places which ensures current and future residents sport and active recreation opportunities are delivered. The establishment of the integrated network of facilities is underpinned by two frameworks. The Sports Selection Framework refines the facility demand for 168 sports across the following settings: Urban dry
