Where to from here

Council cannot solely finance the recommendations from the Beerwah Sportsground Master Plan. The master plan will allow investigation of joint partnerships and external funding opportunities alongside council's capital works funding. This will be conducted in consultation with the Sportsground Management Committee and users, the community and council.

Background

Beerwah Sportsground has a range of buildings and facilities developed over the years by both council and the community. The major uses are:

  • aquatic centre
  • rugby league
  • pony club
  • bocce club
  • skate park
  • community centre.

The grounds are within walking distance of the town centre and schools. The sportsground provides open space for formal and informal recreation to promote people's wellbeing.
