The CHANGE Project 2018 Survey

We invited the community to share their ideas and aspirations for the future of the CHANGE Project through completing a survey. We gained valuable feedback about what you like about the program, where we can improve and you and your family’s active recreation needs.

You told us:

• your favourite CHANGE Project activities are energise / fitness classes

• your number one barrier to participating in active recreation is lack of spare time

• the CHANGE Project has helped increase your physical activity levels (91% of participants), mental wellbeing (90% of participants) and healthy eating habits (72% of participants)

• you love having access to beginner-friendly activities with welcoming environments (90% of participants) and affordable services (90% of participants)

• you love participating in activities which are close to home (81% of participants)

• you’d love to see more yoga and pilates classes and low-cost pay-as-you-go social sporting sessions in the future.

We're using the survey feedback to guide future strategies in promoting and providing opportunity for healthy and active living in the Region.
