Background Information

In 2022 and 2023, Wingecarribee Council undertook extensive community consultation and research to inform the development of the Community Recreational and Facilities Strategy (CRFS). Adopted in October 2023, the CRFS serves as a foundational document guiding Council's future decision-making, ensuring alignment with community aspirations and the responsible provision and utilisation of community facilities. This comprehensive strategy outlines 3 strategic priorities, 10 Shire-wide actions, and 44 precinct-specific actions to address the diverse recreational needs of our community.

A key Shire-wide action identified within the CRFS is the development of a Sports Field Lighting Implementation Plan. This initiative is designed to provide a comprehensive and Shire-wide assessment of sports field lighting requirements and aspirations.

The need for improvements to sports field lighting have been driven by many factors including:

Your feedback is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas on a particular issue or project. The goal is to make sure your voice and the community’s voices are heard and considered. It helps provide valuable insights, identify potential issues and suggest improvements. This way, decisions can be more inclusive, transparent and effective, reflecting what you and the community really needs and wants.

Responses to engagement projects are compiled and considered. When projects are reported to Council to make a decision a summary of community feedback will be included. Updates on projects will be included in these pages and elsewhere on Council's website.

Sometimes it takes some months to provide feedback to the community and to make a decision as further investigation is often needed. We are listening and we do take your suggestions on board!
