Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this policy is to create a transparent, equitable and easily understood framework to manage and maximise the use of Council’s current and future active recreation reserves.  This policy will provide the community with an insight into the framework that governs the provision of active recreation reserves to user groups.

Scope

This policy applies to the formal and structured use of active recreation - reserves including sportsgrounds, pavilions, and associated sporting facilities across the City of Casey. This policy applies to over 80 active recreation reserves that are owned and/or managed by Council.

This policy does not apply at Council’s passive recreation reserves, to informal or unstructured use by individual community members or to Council contract managed facilities such as leisure and aquatic facilities.
