Who Is Responsible?

So what are the cross Government & Non-Government Agency responsibilities for Outdoor Recreation in Queensland?

Outdoor Recreation is diverse in activity, outcome and location. At a State and Local Government level, there has never been any single department taking responsibility for outdoor recreation interests. (However in recent times Sport and Recreation Services did appoint a Principal Project Manager to deal with Outdoor Recreation Issues.)

To enhance all our understandings of the different roles State Government Departments, Local/ Regional Councils, Government Owned Corporations and Non Government/ Community Based Organisations play in the delivery of outdoor recreation, the attached spreadsheet is made available.

This document was provided following a request we made to the Minister for Infrastructure and Planning for an inside view of the cross government responsiblities for outdoor recreation. With the role the Department of Infrastructure and Planning are playing in the development of the SEQ Outdoor Recreation Strategy and SEQ Greenspace Strategy, we felt they would be well placed to advise us in this matter.

Our thanks to the Minister, Stirling Hinchliffe for his support and to the staff of the, then Department of Infrastructure and Planning for this information.

Further to this, the Labor Response to Policy Proposal document is the current State Governments response to our policy proposal presented to both sides of government prior to the last State Election.

This highlights the governments commitments to Outdoor Recreation delivery and research, and forms the basis of some of our conversations with State Government.
