Executive summary.

In consultation with the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, a short survey was developed surrounding future sport and

recreation infrastructure and made available through the YourSAy consultation hub. The survey was available for completion

from the 2nd April until the 7th May during which we received N=2052 completed surveys. It is important to note that there was a

high level of self-selection bias due to the survey methodology and therefore the sample cannot be considered representative

of the wider general public. As a result of the self- selection, respondents to this survey will likely be more interested in sport

and recreation facilities than the wider public.

The vast majority (89%) of respondents had been active in the three months prior to being surveyed. In line with findings from

Ausplay 2018, the most common activity was walking, with 45% of respondents involved. Cycling (23%), running (18%) and

swimming (18%) were the next most popular activities with the first traditionally organised sport being Netball with 9% of

respondents. This highlights the seemingly unstructured, recreational nature of most respondents’ physical activities. Older

participants are less likely to participate in many activities, with the exceptions of lawn bowls and gardening.

When asked to rate the importance of various sport and recreational facilities, this inclination towards recreational activities

continues with parks, reserves and playing fields the most important facilities (72% of respondents consider important), which

was on par with walking trails and paths (72% of respondents consider important). Interestingly, ovals are considered the 3rd

most important facilities, despite AFL being the 11th most common sport or activity and cricket the 19th, undertaken by 6% and

3% of respondents respectively. This suggests that those who are not involved with oval related sports still place a high

importance on the facilities and attests to their versatility. Similarly, indoor recreation and sports centres are considered

important by 56% of respondents, likely due to their versatility and multi-purpose nature.

A total of 13% of respondents were not sure or couldn’t articulate whether there were any gaps in current levels of provision.

Those who could, often mentioned indoor facilities (11%) whether it be an indoor pool, basketball court, soccer facilities or

simply “indoor facilities”. This was often reasoned as a solution to poor weather or inadequate surfaces.

Regarding specific sporting or recreational infrastructure projects to be developed, aquatic facilities (12%) received the most responses. This could include more popular facilities such as pools to more niche facilities like areas to kayak. The second most common response to this question surrounded upgrades and improvements to existing facilities (11%).

When asked what stops respondents from utilising sport and recreational facilities, the poor condition of facilities was the

largest barrier to entry, with almost half of respondents (46%) indicating that this stops them from attending sport and

recreation facilities. This was closely followed by distance (40%). Other major barriers included crowded facilities and limited

car parking (25% and 24% respectively). While regional participants were more likely to report distance as a barrier (49%), they

were less likely than their metropolitan counterparts to report crowded facilities (18%) or limited car parking (14%). On average,

metropolitan respondents reported 2.2 barriers per person, while regional respondents reported an average of 1.9 barriers per

respondent, this is significantly fewer.

As shown in respondents answers to a range of agreement statements, the social aspects of sport and recreation are

important to the majority of respondents (74%) and while many respondents would like to see the creation of more sport and

recreation facilities near them (66%), a slightly higher proportion would like to see existing facilities updated (71%).

When asked to articulate what government should be considering when it plans for facilities, the most common response was

that there is consideration of what there is a demand for, while allowing for future trends in needs (what will there be a demand

for?). The next most common response surrounded being family friendly or inclusive to everyone whether they are elderly,

children, amateur, professional, able or disabled. These considerations were followed by accessibility and affordability. Similar

to findings surrounding importance, versatility (practicality and multi-purpose) emerged as a fairly dominant theme to be

considered.

Background.On 10 March 2019 the Minister for Recreation Sport and Racing

announced the development of the South Australian Recreation

and Sport Infrastructure Plan. The Plan will investigate the

facilities we must build and upgrade to support them. Including

recreational facilities such as trails and parks, community

infrastructure through to major venues.

A key component of developing the plan is Community

engagement. The engagement included an open survey

available for completion by any member of the public through the

Government's consultation hub - YourSAy. This report will cover

the findings from this YourSAy consultation.

Targeted consultation will then focus on the recreation and sport

community through State associations and their network of clubs

and members, the general public and local government through

a major Statewide consultation process through to the end of

August 2019.

Methodology.

To meet the objectives of the research and gain a clear picture of the

needs and community satisfaction with facility provision, a short

survey was developed in consultation with the Office for Recreation

Sport & Racing (ORSR). The survey was then made available via the

YourSAy consultation hub and promoted via Social media. The survey

was available for completion from the 2nd April until the 7th May during

which we received N=2052 completed surveys. ORSR also emailed

an invitation to the survey to its existing email contacts.

To help gain the perspectives of those who were not a member of a

sport or recreation club or organisation the list was also distributed to

an online panel. A detailed breakdown of completes can be found

below.

Responses have been reported at an overall level. Considering the

above methodology, it is important to note that there is a high level of

self-selection bias and the sample cannot be considered

representative of the wider general public. As a result of the self-

selection, respondents to this survey will likely be more interested in

sport and recreation facilities than the wider public.

Throughout this report, the survey results are presented at an overall level.

For questions involving scales, mean scores have been used to compare between sub-groups (an example of a mean score is shown below). A mean

score is the average rating that any particular group gave for that measure. All scales throughout the report use an 11 point scale, from 0 up to 10 and

scores are grouped into categories, e.g. 0-1 Not at all satisfied, 2-3 Not satisfied, 4-6 Neutral, 7-8 Satisfied and 9-10 Very satisfied.

Significance testing has been conducted between sub-groups of interest. Tests have been undertaken at a 95% confidence level. If there is a

statistically significant difference, we can be confident that this difference has not occurred by chance, rather that it reflects a genuine difference

among that group compared with the other group (or net of the other groups). Significance testing does not inform the reader as to the degree of a

difference. We take an exception rule to reporting on significant differences – that means we only show a difference where it is significant and where a

difference is not indicated, it doesn’t exist. Where a significant difference has been found, it has been indicated by an arrow.

General comments.

Q10. Please provide any other comments with regard to the future provision of sport and recreational facilities?

*Selection of verbatim comments

Please provide any other comments with regard to the future provision of sport and recreational facilities?*

“Work with the various governing bodies to ensure

facilities are maintained and accessible”

“Ongoing maintenance needs to be provided for.

facilities seem to deteriorate due to a lack of

maintenance and cost cutting.”“Seek more advice & direction

from the Local Community

Service Organisations”

“Regional and remote needs more support”

“Need to create hub activities. e.g. pools, courts

and ovals together. Reduce the management

costs/burden for volunteers and paid staff.”

“Listen to actual sporting bodies and do not put in place another layer of management cost which were not

previously there when building new facilities. Volunteers use to do same job at no cost, now sporting bodies

have to pay”

“I have yet to see a coordinated plan from any organisation to

deal with the growing issues being experienced by all

community and sporting clubs in SA”

“Improve the coordination between grant applicants with Local Council, Government grants and

peak sporting bodies in reducing administration by creating one body to approve major projects

with more realistic higher amounts”
