Roper Gulf Sport and Recreation Masterplan

The Better Cities Group have been commissioned by Roper Gulf Regional Council in the Northern Territory to develop a Sport & Recreation Master Plan to provide clear strategic and operational guidance for the provision of services and investment in sport and recreation facilities for the short (1-3 years), medium (4-7 years), and long (8-10 years) term.

The scope includes review of:

• The remaining useful life of legacy infrastructure;

• Sustainable facility management costs;

• The suitability of current facilities to meet population growth projections;

• Opportunities for new investment in facilities to meet population growth projections, including the identification of current and future grant funding opportunities for refurbishment and/or development of facilities;

• Opportunities for new sport and recreation programmes based on demonstrated community needs;

• Reducing facility and programme duplication across different community provider sectors;

• Realistic project targets for infrastructure refurbishments, upgrades, and builds; and

• Potential income stream opportunities to support the running costs associated with the sport and recreation infrastructure and facilities.

A comprehensive engagement process will run from April to June 2023 to ensure all stakeholders have an opportunity to provide their input into the development of the masterplan.
