Recreation

George Town has a proud sporting tradition as well as natural assets throughout the municipality that facilitate a wide range of recreational pursuits.  The Council is committed to ongoing planning for and provision of facilities that enable residents to enjoy a range of organised and non-organised recreational activities, using both traditional sporting facilities and less formal facilities (such as walking tracks, playgrounds, pontoons, etc).

Council has developed a Sports Complex Development Plan to assist with development and strategy plans for the future.
