Fair Access Policy
About the policy
The Fair Access Policy primarily guides Council’s work toward providing safe and connected spaces for everyone to access sporting infrastructure, in line with our overarching goal of Whittlesea 2040: A place for all: Connected Community.
What is Council doing?
This policy establishes Council’s commitment that gender equality be considered and prioritised in all current and future Council planning, policy, service delivery, facility allocations and practice as they relate to community sports infrastructure.
What are local sporting clubs doing?
Local City of Whittlesea Sporting Clubs are completing 6 education modules to provide knowledge on:
- Gender Equity 101
- Participation
- Resistance
- Safe and Inclusive Environments
- Men as Allies and Bystander Training
- Gender Equity Audits and Action Plans.
These modules will provide support and networking opportunities to local sporting clubs to continue developing their club culture and champion Gender Equity.
Upon completion of all 6 modules, each club will develop a Gender Equity Action Plan with Council support, to guide their operational and strategic direction in line with Fair Access Principles.
