Sports Facility Plan
The Northern Tasmania Sports Facility Plan 2023 (the Plan) is the first phase in a long-term planning initiative of the Northern Tasmanian Development Corporation (NTDC) and included the local government areas of City of Launceston, West Tamar, Meander Valley, Northern Midlands and George Town. The full Northern Tasmania Sports Facility Plan 2023 can be viewed below.
In 2023 Dorset Council joined the NTDC due to its alignment with Council’s strategic direction, including the full review of municipal assets and infrastructure. As part of the membership, Dorset Council’s sport and recreation facilities were reviewed and included as an addendum to the Plan in early 2024.
The Dorset Council Addendum 2024 (the Addendum) reviews sporting and active recreation facilities across the municipality to ensure that the future long-term needs of the community are considered. The Addendum will feed into further local planning processes for the region and is intended to compliment national, state and regional plans and strategies.
ROSS Planning is engaged as the consultant throughout the process and as part of the initial drafting of the Addendum has interviewed key stakeholders and undertaken site visits to ascertain specific issues and opportunities in relation to Council facilities.
The next stage of the process will be to gather general community feedback.
