The policy provides a management framework for Clarence Valley Council to address barriers experienced by women and girls in accessing and using community sport infrastructure. The purpose is to ensure all voices, concerns, and experiences, are an integral dimension of the design, implementation, and monitoring of policies and programs. The policy aims to ensure we comply with all current legislation and government and sports related policies and plans and seeks to strengthen sports participation, wellbeing, and connectivity.
Clarence Valley Council will aim to:
• ensure women and girls have equitable access to sport and recreation facilities
• foster positive sport and recreation participation experiences for women and girls
• increase utilisation of sport and recreation facilities by women and girls
The draft policy is based on the Example Equitable Access and Use Policy developed by the NSW Government Office of Sport. The requirement for this policy is being driven by both the Australian Government and State Government and is becoming a mandatory requirement of external funding applications for sporting facilities.
