Hockey Australia will support common The Plan is constructed on the most up to date, evidenced-based research around community sport and narrows in needs and provide frameworks to allow on the more hockey specific challenges. national reach through local delivery. The foundation of the Plan is the nine Sport Australia Participation Drivers. This is the first introduction of these Drivers to our sport and will serve as a strong base for hockey to springboard into the life of this and future Plans. The Drivers were developed through a straw-man framework. Initial learnings were taken from existing Sport Australia documentation. These learnings were tested and refined through a desktop review of available literature from within and outside the sports sector. The drivers were then tested and further refined with stakeholders from all levels of the sports sector, including Sport Australia, National Sporting Organisations, State Sporting Organisations, and representatives from community sport. The iterative process resulted in the final nine drivers listed and defined in this document. While not included as a standalone Driver, inclusion is an underlying principle that sits within each. Hockey has a proud history of diversity and inclusion, and it is expected our sport approaches everything we do in a welcoming and inclusive manner. In hockey we accept everyone, just as they are. The journey over the next two years is an exciting one, and one that will be full of great innovation and engagement. Our Purpose Hockey is a sport The sport of hockey We also strongly played across is a welcoming, believe that every Australia, from the family friendly and participant should city to the country, inclusive sport and have the opportunity equally by men Our national teams are we wish to fully We consider enjoyment to strive to achieve and women, boys among the best in the embrace existing across all aspects their personal and girls. world and regularly and new – players, of the game to be a aspirations as achieve podium coaches, officials, central philosophy a player, coach, performances at major staff, volunteers and which underpins how official, volunteer or benchmark events. fans alike. we operate. paid administrator.

Permanent Noted N Hockey facilities is a detriment when there is a large facility at Curtin University. This is a very serious matter for us. Also given the recent rise in rates and given the serious nature of Covid19 Recession. I strongly urge the council not to engage in million dollar spending projects. Regards, 2 Higgins Park Master Plan - Being an active member of the TOVP community I do not agree Noted N with the proposal of a Hockey Playing surface at Higgins Park. Options 1 & 2 disrupt the current Football Clubs operations and Playing fields. As a local community Footy Club run by volunteers the necessity to provide sport activities within the precinct is invaluable. This provides a engaged and supportive group which gives back. I do understand that Hockey as a sport also needs to be catered for but the displacement of a well established and strong Football club will be the demise of the club. Option 3 is the best outcome that should be ruled on to provide a future for the Football Club. As a coach of one of many teams, the recommendation to train at different ovals with in the ToVP is not an option.

    CelebratingCelebrating 11/11/1995 - 11/11/2020 Foreword Letter from current President Steve Stewart Hockey Queensland today spans 23 Associations and includes Master’s and Indoor Hockey, but that has not always been the case. In the 1990s a group of people had a vision of unification for our sport to enhance its management and provide opportunities and pathways for its athletes. Their efforts were rewarded in 1995 with the birth of Hockey Queensland (HQ) as a unified male and female State Sporting Organisation. The concept of HQ was first seriously proposed in 1993 by Daphne Pirie and Jim Quaite, the Presidents of Queensland Women’s Hockey Association and Queensland Hockey Association respectively. Through their diligence and the efforts of others, including the Steering Committee of Dennis Binnington, John Giles, Julie McNeil, Elsie Quaite and Janne Ellis we have evolved into the HQ of today. I consider the longevity of people’s involvement in hockey as one of the most endearing features of our sports culture, as many of the people who contributed to the creation of QWHA, QHA and of course HQ, are still involved in Hockey in Queensland. I would particularly like to thank Janne Ellis for her commitment to Hockey Queensland. Janne was there at the beginning and remains with us as our ‘historian’ and jack of all trades. Janne your contribution is appreciated. Go #TeamQLD, Steve Stewart Celebrating 25 years of Hockey Queensland On the 11th November 1995, Queensland Women’s Hockey Association and Queensland Men’s Hockey Association merged to form Hockey Queensland Incorporated. On the same date in 2020, Hockey Queensland Limited celebrates the silver anniversary of the amalgamation.
