Physical Activity and Sports Development Strategy

Public consultation

We’re reviewing our current physical activity and sports development provision across the city.

Strategic Leisure Limited (SLL) were appointed in 2022 to help develop a strategy to make it easier for our residents to be physically active and participate in sports.

Phase one of the process involved a public consultation to gather the views of people including:

• casual gym users
• members of sports teams
• volunteers
• coaches at local clubs
• people who deliver sport and physical activities in schools, and
• community groups.

The first phase closed in December 2022. You can read more about it on Your Say Belfast (link opens in new window).

Next steps

The results of phase one will help shape the draft Physical Activity and Sports Development strategy which will be published later this year.

An in-depth public consultation exercise will then take place before the strategy is finalised.

The final strategy will then be launched after it has been approved by our councillors.
