Ahead of the game consultation paper

… a consultation paper for a sport and recreation vision for Queensland

In November 2011 we consulted with Queenslanders to find out what was important to you and your community about sport and recreation. Maybe it’s better places for sport and recreation, more opportunities to participate, improving support for clubs or paving the way for elite athletes.

Whether you’re an individual or a sport or recreation organisation, your views will help shape the future of sport and recreation in Queensland.
