This conceptual / study protocol paper provides important context around the role of sport in Australia where sport provides aspects of community agency through participation, organisation and volunteerism. It provides a descriptive analysis of how sport assists young people in developing physical and mental “fitness” through its community orientation. However, it also provides discussion around the potential of a “generation lost” to sport as a consequence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The conceptual nature of this paper means that the data collection underpinning this research has not yet been conducted. However, given that we have applied for human research ethics along with having accrued sporting clubs and organisations eager to be involved in the research, we are planning to roll out this research by mid 2020. The design will be based on mixed methods approach whereby large-scale surveys together with focus groups and interviews will be central to the research data collection process.

  • Annual Report Details the Last 12 Months Activity Undertaken by the EPLGA, Its Financial Accounts, and Operative Regional Collaborative Partnerships
    EYRE PENINSULA LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION A N N U A L R E P O R T 2019-20 W W W . E P L G A . C O M . A U Authors: Peter Scott Executive Officer Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association Sue Henriksen Business Support Officer Regional Development Australia Eyre Peninsula Inc. Cover photo: Murphy's Haystacks, Eyre Peninsula. Photo: SATC. Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT This annual report details the last 12 months activity undertaken by the EPLGA, its financial accounts, and operative regional collaborative partnerships. The vision and goal of the EPLGA, to “enable Eyre Peninsula councils to excel, innovate, and thrive”, has never been more relevant for the region than now. We have been facing many challenges and opportunities, with the need for the councils of the EP to be working closely together. The EPLGA has seen a change in the position of Executive Officer, with Tony Irvine retiring at the end of 2019. The contribution which Tony has made over many years of involvement with local government on the Eyre Peninsula deserves recognition, especially his time as the EPLGA Executive Officer. The EPLGA is in a much stronger position due to the work which has been done by Tony over his tenure. Peter Scott was appointed in February 2020, bringing with him already established knowledge and relationships from his prior employment. With this appointment, there was also developed a shared service agreement with RDAEP to deliver economic development projects agreed with a joint workplan arrangement. These new and unique arrangements will help local government have a strong interest in economic development and also make economic savings for both organisations.
