This is driven by an increasing population in the municipality with growth being greatest in Coburg especially in the new Pentridge development which has a younger adult cohort in the 20 40 year old range.

We thanked Michael for his presentation, congratulated him on the work he has done to date in getting this together and asked that he kept us abreast of developments.
Coburg Athletics Track
Many regional centres such as Mildura and Shepparton have embraced this approach resulting in first class modern facilities not to mention some good international examples in Asia and the USA .

Carney and the Northern
To address this, the first aim is to develop a feasibility study/business case which will lead to a master plan for a northern Melbourne Sports Hub. This will then allow approaches to the community and the various levels of government for support.
Group :
It is also driven by ageing sports and recreation infrastructure in the municipality with the Coburg Olympic Pool being built over 50 years ago and the newest being the Basketball Stadium which dates back 27 years. In the middle are the Athletics Track and the Table Tennis Stadium.
We were recently addressed by Michael Carney of the recently formed Northern Community Sports Group which brings together sporting bodies in the City of Moreland (about to become Merri bek). These include basketball, athletics swimming, football and cricket. The group’s aim is to increase access to all of these through a collective approach to promotion in the community and appropriate investment in facilities. As Michael said, the group wants “wonderful sporting facilities complimented by great urban design for the whole community.”

Upcoming speakers/events Guest Speakers Rotary invites speakers to our club both from our local community and further afield. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and are invited because they hopefully inform and stimulate our members and guests. We feel that this is of value in fostering a deeper understanding of our diverse community and even providing guidance as to the types of activites and projects our club may engage in. However the opinions expressed by our speakers do not necessarily reflect any official viewpoint of Moreland Rotary nor those of individual club members. Irrespective of this we always offer a warm Rotary welcome to all of our speakers.
During the pandemic restrictions we met via Zoom on Wednesday mornings from 7.30 8.30 am but we NOW MEET in person at our usual venue (listed on page 7). You should contact us beforehand in case restrictions are in force but you can still join us on Zoom at any time and the link is below. We always aim to have great guest speakers whether meeting in person or virtually! Why not join us one morning? Simply ring David on 0448 852 747 the day before to RSVP or go to: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3068589175 just before the meeting to join in.
