The Melbourne East Regional Sport and Recreation Strategy will deliver a strategic framework for the planning of regional and state level sport and recreation facilities and shared trails across the Eastern Region.

The Melbourne East Region incorporates the seven Local Government Areas of Maroondah City Council, Knox City Council, Shire of Yarra Ranges, City of Monash, City of Whitehorse, Manningham City Council and the City of Boroondara.

These LGA’s are being supported by the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI) and Regional Development Australia to develop the Melbourne East Regional Sport and Recreation Strategy.

The Strategy will aim to increase participation in sport and recreation activities, provide facilities that can accommodate future demand and create increased opportunities to bid for and host regional, state and national sporting events resulting in economic benefits to communities.

This regional plan will lead the future of regional sporting facility planning and resourcing in Victoria with its no boundaries and partnership approach.
