Sport and active recreation deliver many personal and community benefits including the development of self-esteem, maintaining health and fitness, nurturing talented athletes and contributing to an individual's enjoyment of life.

Sport and recreation also contributes to a range of priorities including tackling childhood obesity and building safer communities.
