Council seeks partners for Active Teens Program

Noosa Council is now seeking expressions of interest from local organisations and businesses to deliver its new Active Teens Program after 180 teenagers took part in a survey to identify the types of activities they would like included in the program. Thank you Noosa teens!

Activities that the young people would like to see as part of the program include: stand-up-paddle, boxing, gym (weights and cardio), surfing, yoga, swimming, kayaking, martial arts, self-defence, tennis and mountain biking.

With Australia’s population heading towards a gold medal in obesity, and studies showing that today’s teenagers lead a more sedentary lifestyle than previous generations, the Active Teens program gives young people the chance to try some fun activities which they then might continue for years to come,” Councils Director of Community, Alan (Fox) Rogers said.

Council is inviting interested sport and active recreation businesses or not-for-profit groups to contact its Community Development branch at commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au or by phoning 5329 6500, no later than January 15.
