Female Friendly Sport and Recreation Participation and Infrastructure Strategy

The development of a female participation and infrastructure strategy aims to create a roadmap to retain and attract more women and girls in physical activity.

The Strategy will also aim to understand the barriers and drivers that prevent and encourage Moorabool women and girls to participate.

As part of the project’s development, we want you to tell us:

• What activities are popular for women and girls in Moorabool?
• What activities would women and girls like to participate in, but don’t?
• What has stopped, or what is stopping, women and girls from participating?

Who is involved?

The Strategy’s development has been funded by Moorabool Shire in partnership with Sport and Recreation Victoria. The project will be delivered by consultants insideEDGE Sport & Leisure Planning and Victoria University.

Feedback from the community will be collected in two ways:

1. Community Survey – the survey needs to hear from women and girls residing within Moorabool Shire. This includes females of all ages, backgrounds, cultures and abilities, and those currently engaged in physical activity as well as those not presently as active as they may like to be.
2. Community Focus Groups -  we would also like the involvement of approximately 60 girls and women in our focus group workshops. These workshops will further discuss the current barriers and drivers around female participation in Moorabool, and help us shape the actions and recommendations for the Strategy.
