The Belconnen Community Council (BCC) appreciates the opportunity to contribute to this inquiry.
As a representative body for the residents, students, and businesses of the Belconnen district, the BCC regularly engages with the community on issues that affect local participation, liveability, and wellbeing. Community sport is a key pillar of these factors.
This submission draws on feedback from local clubs and residents to highlight the barriers and opportunities shaping participation across Belconnen and the wider AСТ.
This submission recommends that the Committee focus on how better planning, practical support, and fairer pricing can strengthen the physical, human, and financial foundations of community sport across the ACT.
