Early in 2005 ROSS Planning Pty Ltd was engaged to develop the Crows Nest Shire Sport and Recreation Plan 2005. Crows Nest Shire Council needed to update its existing Plan as it was near the end of its life.
Crows Nest Shire Council’s population has grown considerably during the life of the last plan and it is expected that this growth will continue. Over the next five years, the life of this Sport and Recreation Plan, the Shire’s population is expected to rise from 11,832 to 14,404, a 22% increase. Much of this growth will be within Council’s Division 2 consisting of Highfields and immediate surrounding areas (see Section 5.1).
Crows Nest Shire is no longer – swallowed into Toowoomba Regional Council after this plan was prepared.
