The study comprised four key stages:
STAGE 1 – INTRODUCTION
Defining project objectives, areas of investigation and critical planning issues and collecting essential information.
STAGE 2 – ASSESSMENT OF SPORT AND RECREATION SUPPLY
Assessment of current provision of sport and recreation resources throughout Cambooya and nearby, given the high use of facilities and services in Toowoomba and neighbouring shires. Principal outputs from Stage 2 were a
GIS-based Facilities Inventory and a preliminary indication of facility shortfalls and surpluses.
STAGE 3 – ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS
Stage 3 sought to determine current needs and future demands for sport and recreation facilities, services and programs. It involved two components:
~A’^AEUR^AEUR^AEUR assessments of the Shire’s demographic profile and leisure participation trends; and
~A’^AEUR^AEUR^AEUR consultation.
STAGE 4 – DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS
Stage 4 involved development of broad management strategies and a detailed Action Plan, according to Immediate, High, Medium and Low implementation priorities over the next 10 years. Council’s draft Planning Scheme was also considered to determine how well strategic and development control provisions support sport, recreation and open space initiatives.
