Adopted in 2009, Bass Coast Shire Council's Municipal Recreation Plan (PDF 439kb) provides a direction for the development of Recreation in the Shire.

The four strategies in the Plan are to:

• Maximise opportunities for participation in a range of lifestyle and learning activities.
• Facilitate balanced and integrated support services necessary for the health, safety and well-being of the community.
• Manage development and growth in line with community needs and statutory regulations.
• Provide infrastructure and facilities that are needed by the community.

For further information on the Plan, please contact our Recreation Planner, Ella Angarane, on 1300 BCOAST (226 278)

Phillip Island Sport and Active Recreation Needs Assessment

In July Council adopted the Phillip Island Sport and Active Recreation Needs Assessment (PDF 817kb).

The study looks at the long term recreation needs of the Phillip Island community up to 2025. It recommends how existing facilities could be developed and also recommends forming partnerships to use existing private and public facilities.
