Organised Sport Seasonal Allocation Policy

The Organised Sport Seasonal Allocation Policy (the Policy) provides a consistent and transparent approach to how sportsgrounds and pavilions are allocated to groups who facilitate organised sport and recreation regularly over a summer and/or winter season.

This includes:

• local and community sports clubs
• Boroondara schools
• commercial or private operators.

The Policy aims to:

• support organisations who provide health and wellbeing benefits to our community
• maximise local and community club participation through efficient and flexible allocation, which prioritises gender-equitable access and use of sporting assets and appropriate usage fees
• protect and manage our assets
• encourage equitable access to, and use of our sporting assets for as many members of our community as possible to encourage and increase physical activity
• support all user groups who access and use local sport infrastructure to understand, adopt and implement equitable access and usage practices.
