Guidelines
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) identifies promotion of adventure and outdoor recreation as a challenge which must be addressed to achieve the key outcomes of increased participation, improved performance, greater well-being and enhanced social capital and organisational capability.
More People More Active Outdoors — A Framework for Outdoor Recreation in Western Australia 2019 was developed to guide local and regional outdoor recreation planning and encourage collaboration to maximise the benefits of outdoor recreation for participants and service providers.
The framework identifies 5 key pillars that support the benefits of outdoor recreation:
The framework identifies the participation spectrum as a mechanism to improve experiences in outdoor active recreation. Progressing participants along the spectrum from the ‘Aware’ stage to the ‘Independent’ stage is key to getting more people to be more active outdoors.
