OCM 25 AUGUST 2020 APPENDIX 13.3.3A INTRODUCTION
OCM 25 AUGUST 2020 APPENDIX 13.3.3A
The City of Gosnells is located in the southeast corridor of the Perth metropolitan
area, approximately 17km from the Perth CBD. The population of 124,081 people
(ABS Estimated Resident Population 2019) resides across an area of 127km2.
The City recognises that sport and recreation plays an important role in
maintaining and improving the health and wellbeing of the Gosnells’ community.
The Sports Plan will help the City to achieve its Strategic Community Plan mission
of “Making the City of Gosnells a Great Place.” In particular, it will assist to deliver
the following Strategic Priorities:
Page 4
Places within the City are attractive and vibrant.
The community is proud and harmonious.
The purpose of the Sports Plan is to provide a roadmap for development of new
sport and recreation facilities as well as improved use of existing facilities to
enable more people to be more active more often.
In order to develop the Sports Plan, the City engaged a consultant (A Balanced
View Leisure Consultancy Services) to undertake a review of background
information including relevant City plans, reports, studies, facility usage data and
demographics, along with an audit of the City’s existing facilities and active
reserves.
The Sports Plan has identified:
Existing sport and recreation services.
Sport and recreation trends and challenges.
Gaps within existing services within the catchment.
Prioritised actions to enable the City to work with community stakeholders
and respond appropriately.

Benchmark Provision &
Analysis
Parks and Leisure Australia (WA) (PLAWA) has developed
standards to provide a reference point and establish
Page 5
benchmarks for the provision of community infrastructure
within existing or new developments. It is not the intention
of the document to provide a standardised approach,
however the suggested population bandings for various
facilities indicate a threshold at which they should be
considered by local governments.
The following tables present an assessment of how facilities
provided by the City of Gosnells compare to PLAWA
provision benchmarks (July 2020 Guidelines) and relevant
sporting association guidelines. It is noted that some sports
have both generic and specialised sports spaces eg. diamond
pitch sports and hockey.
The tables also identify how many spaces or facilities would
be required in Gosnells to meet the benchmark, based on
the City’s current population size. With respect to
population requirements, the City has generally rounded
down to the minimum number of spaces, ovals etc.

TRENDSOCM 25 AUGUST 2020 APPENDIX 13.3.3A
There are a number of relevant national, state and local sport and recreation trends that need to be
considered when planning for future sporting infrastructure. A summary of these is listed below for
facilities, community and participation.

Increase in modified games and alternate
offerings of sport with shorter games or smaller
teams, for example, to help attract new
participants, reduce time commitments or make
sports more affordable.
Growth in technology and equipment that helps
people to participate in sport and recreation at
home or on their own, without needing to join a
sports club.
The Federal Government (through Sport Australia) release AusPlay data each year on the number of
people participating in sport and physical activity. They also report on how many people participate per
nation, state or territory.

Priority Projects
The City acknowledges that while it provides extensive sporting
opportunities, there is more to be done in some areas.
In consideration of the City’s benchmarking against current
provisions and the key sport and recreation trends, a series of
projects to improve the provision of both organised and casual
active recreation across the City within the next decade (by 2030)
have been identified.
The following table outlines these projects. As a guide:

Priority one projects are currently being undertaken by the
