Active Upper Yarra Project

Guest speaker at our AGM, Mark Rogers, gave us an insight into the Active Upper Yarra Project.

Sport and recreation plays a crucial role within the Upper Yarra region both as an avenue for exercise, health enhancement and equally as an important means for facilitating social interaction within our communities.
Local sporting and recreation clubs, help to build communities through social inclusion and a sense of connection. Other benefits they provide can also include the development of a sense of local pride. Such celebrations can unite communities; drawing together people of different race, religion and culture; developing a heightened sense of community and local identity.

The region has enormous potential because of its natural attributes to encourage a wide range of activities that cost nothing, are environmentally friendly and promote health and well being. These include bushwalking, river based activities, environmental groups such as bird watching and a host of other possibilities. Not only do these activities promote good health, they contribute to the breakdown of social isolation, environmental awareness and consequently well being.

If you have any sport and recreation activities or related services that you would like to promote on the Active Upper Yarra Sport and Recreation directory or the YV FM RADIO Active Upper Yarra Show, contact Mark Rogers at the Active Upper Yarra Project at the Upper Yarra Community House:
