G21 and Cricket Victoria Barwon Regional Cricket Strategy

Draft G21 and Cricket Victoria Barwon Regional Cricket Strategy  

Cricket is the majority user of outdoor playing fields across Barwon region during summer months. Cricket participation for season 2016-17 was the highest in country Victoria, with 5,718 participants playing with 66 clubs at 155 grounds.

The Draft G21 and Cricket Victoria Barwon Regional Cricket Strategy focuses on both the built ‘on-field’ elements of the game including facilities and infrastructure as well as the  ‘off-field’ components including sport development, increasing of participation levels, policy and planning, partnership development and the governance and management of cricket across the region.

Development of the draft strategy has identified five key priorities which will guide future direction, underpinned by objectives and actions that can be implemented at the local level:

  • Develop an aligned and collaborative structure to manage cricket.
  • Grow cricket, its range of activities, club capacity and profile across the Barwon region.
  • Maximise the capacity and activation of existing sites and align new facilities with future need and demand.
  • Deliver and activate a Regional Cricket and Community Centre.
  • Secure stakeholder support for strategy implementation.
