Brisbane offers a range of events, programs and facilities that encourage residents to become active and healthy. The city also offers a range of sport and recreation opportunities that meet residents' changing living, working and leisure patterns.

Where we want to be

Brisbane will be a city of diverse and accessible sport and recreational opportunities for all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

All Brisbane residents will have access to a range of facilities and programs to achieve active and healthy lifestyles and will be supported in their choice of physical activity.

Brisbane's great public spaces, sport facilities and clubs will provide safe, opportunities for all ages. Additionally, neighbourhoods will be more liveable and people will feel connected and engaged.

The Queensland Sport, Exercise and Recreation Survey report published in May 2016, indicates that lack of time and the cost of participation are the biggest barriers to residents participating in physical activity.

Council’s goal is to reduce the affordability and accessibility barriers by continuing to deliver a range of activities that are free and low cost while, scheduling activities across a variety of suburbs, facilities and at varying times throughout the day and week.

The programs provide a range of activities that inspire and motivate residents to work towards a healthy lifestyle, including activities specifically targeting young people and those over 50 years of age.

Participation in Council programs also enables residents to meet others with similar interests and interact in a safe, enjoyable environment, helping to combat social isolation and to connect communities.

Outcome 5.4 Social Inclusion

Outcome description

Brisbane is an inclusive city in which diversity is valued and all Brisbane residents, regardless of ability, background or circumstance are able to fully enjoy living, working or visiting.

Council shares the responsibility of social inclusion initiatives with partners including other levels of government, not-for-profit and business sectors and the community. Partnerships with these agencies strengthen Council's ability to respond to emerging needs as well as providing the means for Council to negotiate for improved services and programs.

By targeting services, building community capacity and resilience and supporting community groups and networks, this outcome contributes to the Brisbane Vision goals of an accessible, connected city and a friendly, safe city as well as to the broader goal of building an inclusive Brisbane.

Outcome 5.5 Community Sport, Recreation and Cultural Facilities

Brisbane residents have access to a broad range of well-managed, h i g h - quality community facilities that provide safe and diverse sporting, recreational, social and cultural opportunities.

exploring ways to increase the provision of new and improved facilities to meet the needs of a changing and diverse community.

The Museum of Brisbane (MoB), Brisbane Powerhouse and SunPAC Brisbane are major cultural facilities that provide opportunities for diverse community participation in cultural activities.

Where we want to be

Planning for new and improved sport, recreation, cultural and community facilities and precincts, as an integral component of the city's infrastructure development, is crucial as localities undergo redevelopment and change.

A sound understanding of the current and future needs of the local community will ensure that facilities are planned, developed and managed to meet the needs of the community.Facilities will be flexible in design and fit for purpose with asset and risk management plans and programs to maintain public safety, while responding to changing demands.

Developing partnerships with other levels of government, the not-for-profit sector, community-based enterprises and the private sector provide the opportunity to maximise Council's investment in community facilities.

Council will continue its investment in facilities for creative and cultural use. Well-defined funding agreements for major cultural facilities ensure the objectives of the Creative Brisbane: Creative Economy 2013-22 strategy are progressed, so that a vibrant cultural life contributes to our creative economy.
