Valley Sport is proud to share our Strategic Plan 2026–2029, a clear and ambitious roadmap for the next four years as we continue working towards better lives through sport – from the Mountains to the Murray.
This plan has been shaped by the voices of our community. Through consultation with clubs, volunteers, councils and partners, we’ve identified where Valley Sport can have the greatest impact in supporting safe, inclusive and sustainable sport and active recreation across our region.
Our focus for the next four years
The Strategic Plan is built around three key pillars:
- Capability (with Clubs): Supporting volunteers and strengthening governance so clubs feel confident about their future
- Connection (with Community): Growing participation and creating welcoming, inclusive pathways for everyone
- Collaboration (with Partners): Working together to strengthen the sport and recreation sector across the region
These pillars are supported by strong enablers in people, financial sustainability, business support, and data and technology.
A shared vision for our region
Sport plays a vital role in connecting communities, supporting wellbeing and creating a sense of belonging. This Strategic Plan is an invitation to everyone – clubs, volunteers, partners and community members – to work with us in harnessing the power of sport.
