Independent Sport Facilities Report
The ACT Government is progressing an ACT Independent Sport Facilities Report to provide a contemporary evidence base for future sport infrastructure planning and investment across Canberra.
The report will assess existing sport infrastructure, participation trends, demographic changes, future demand, and opportunities to improve the planning, delivery, and utilisation of sporting facilities across the Territory.
The project will examine a range of factors affecting the sport sector, including:
- Current and future participation trends across organised and informal sport.
- Existing sport infrastructure provision, utilisation, and capacity.
- Population growth and emerging demand for sport facilities.
- Opportunities to optimise some existing facilities and identify future infrastructure priorities.
Community Feedback
Feedback gathered through an independently facilitated workshop informed the development of the draft Terms of Reference for the ACT Independent Sport Facilities Report.
Feedback received on the draft Terms of Reference has helped ensure the ACT Independent Sport Facilities Report is informed by the experiences and expertise of sporting organisations, facility operators, and community stakeholders.

Further engagement with stakeholders will occur throughout the development of the report.
Consultant Engagement
The ACT Government will engage a suitably qualified consultant to undertake the ACT Independent Sport Facilities Report and provide evidence-based recommendations to support future planning and investment decisions for sport infrastructure across the Territory.
