This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the team that delivers and implements programs and services provided by Sport and Recreation, encouraging and supporting Queenslanders to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle.
This includes engaging and maintaining local networks and identifying partnership opportunities with key stakeholders (including but not limited to Local Councils, regional sport and recreation organisations, non-Government organisations, and other government departments) and working in partnership with these stakeholders on key regional initiatives in the delivery of Government priorities and to identify business opportunities.
Sport and Recreation supports and encourages participation and success in sport and active recreation through the delivery of grant funding for sport and active recreation organisations and clubs, infrastructure and participation programs, the operation of precincts and venues, and through engaging and partnering with the active industry across Queensland.
Through this investment, we want to improve the health and wellbeing of all Queenslanders by assisting them to be more active.
Service Delivery's primary function is to directly connect the agency with our clients and key stakeholders, playing a pivotal role in fostering healthy and connected communities.
Through informed advice, effective engagement, and efficient delivery of funding programs, we aim to empower individuals and communities to actively participate in sports and recreational activities, regardless of socio-economic factors or geographic location.
