Editor's Notes
- #2 New logos
- #3 Social Justice Principles and affordability
- #4 We have been thinking of the importance of Councils in grass roots sport, including facilities, after school activities and funding, and see the community engagement and long term planning as a big opportunity to engage with local government in furthering our objectives. We also welcome the partnership between Local, State and Federal Government for local delivery.

- #9 Lake Macquarie participation in sport is an emerging issue/trend that needs to be addressed. The document States: 'Whilst the increase in female football participation is a main catalyst for this focus in Lake Macquarie, Council must consider the potential to encourage female participation in all sports when allocating resources' Blacktown Council's strategic documents include outcomes, actions and measures to ensure the requirements for women to participate in sport and recreation are addressed in the delivery of facilities and programs. However your input to strengthen these outcomes would be welcome.
- #15 Paul Kougias commented on Womensport NSW 's photo . Paul wrote: "one of the biggest issues with increasing female participation is facilities around grassroots sport. As an entry point for playing sport for life grassroots facilities were mostly built at time when 15+yr old males played sport and that was pretty much it. Changerooms, toilets, fields are all well overdue for upgrade to get anywhere close to meeting the needs of a broad participation base, let alone trying to grow one."
