Melbourne East Regional Sport and Recreation Fair Access Policy

Six (6) local government authorities who teamed up to develop the Melbourne East Regional Sport and Recreation Strategy (MERSRS) have collaborated further to develop an overarching, regional Sport and Recreation Fair Access Policy. The four-year policy will guide a consistent regional approach to fair access and allocation of community sport and recreation infrastructure and to address known participation barriers experienced by women and girls, transgender, and gender diverse people.

The MERSR Fair Access Policy acknowledges:

  • The disadvantaged position some individuals have had in the sport and recreation sector because of their gender.
  • Achieving gender equality will require diverse approaches for women and girls, men and boys, transgender, and gender-diverse people to achieve similar outcomes for people of all genders and will require partnership with State Sporting Associations, local sports associations and leagues and local sport and active recreation clubs.
