We want to hear from you!

The City of Melbourne provides a broad range of community sport and recreation facilities including sports fields, aquatic centres, recreation centres, tennis, lawn bowls and rowing facilities, Community Boating Hub, skate parks, and a golf course.

A draft Recreation Facilities Provision Framework (RFPF) has been prepared to guide future decision making. The framework presents a way for Council to prioritise when, where and how we build and update facilities.

Have your say and make your voice heard during our community consultation period!

SHOES FOR ALL CAMPAIGN UPDATE!

Following our recent Shoes for All campaign in partnership with Reclink Australia and City of Melbourne, we were thrilled to receive over 250 pairs of shoes, half of them being either brand new or close to brand new!

This week, we distributed the first batch of donated shoes to the wonderful people from LACW Vic. The LACW work with women who have recently been involved in the justice system and provide them with pathways to help get them back on their feet.

The donation of these shoes will enable these women to participate in sport or recreational activities to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who was involved! 🙌

At the Y – everyone belongs!🤩

YMCA staff and volunteers around the country will be wearing it purple to show their support for LGBTQIA+ young people so they know there is a place where they can feel safe, included and empowered.

75% of LGBTQIA+ youth in Australia will be bullied because of their identity. 80% will experience it at school.

Because of this, LGBTQIA+ young people are up to 12 times more likely to experience depression and up to 5 times more likely to experience anxiety.

We are committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for everyone, regardless of sexuality, gender, or expression.

We stand up for equality today and every day ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
