Towards 2032: Have Your Say on Our Draft Strategic Plan

Athletics Tasmania and Little Athletics Tasmania are pleased to share Towards 2032 – Athletics in Tasmania, our draft whole-of-sport strategic plan, with members for review and feedback.

With a home Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon in 2032, we've taken this opportunity to look closely at where our sport has been, learn from missed opportunities in the past, and set a genuine course to build a lasting legacy for athletics in Tasmania. Nationally, the sport is entering a new era too, with Little Athletics Australia and Australian Athletics unifying. Locally, our two organisations have already begun working more closely together, now sharing a single Chief Executive and staff structure. This plan builds on that momentum and marks the start of the next chapter for athletics in our state.

Our vision:To be the lifelong sport of choice for all Tasmanians.

The draft plan is built around four priorities:

• Our Story – to lead the way, raising the profile of athletics and working towards a single, unified Tasmanian athletics organisation
• Participation & Products, making sure Tasmanians of all interests and abilities can experience, join and stay in the sport
• Supporting our Organisation, investing in our coaches, officials, volunteers, staff and facilities
• Supporting our Future, building a sustainable, well-governed organisation with diversified revenue and strong partnerships

This will be a living document, reviewed annually and used daily by our boards, staff and volunteers, with progress reported regularly through Board meetings, forums and annual reports.

We want to hear from you

A plan for our whole sport should be shaped by our whole community. Before this strategy is finalised, we want to hear what matters to you, whether that's our proposed priorities, ideas we haven't thought of, or concerns about the direction we're taking.

How to have your say

We've set up a short online survey to make it easy to contribute your feedback.

The survey is open now and will close on 25 August, so please make sure to submit your feedback before then.

What happens next

Following the close of the survey, all feedback will be reviewed and used to shape the final version of Towards 2032, which will then be shared with members.

If you have any questions about the draft plan or the feedback process, please contact the Tasmanian Athletics office.

We look forward to hearing your ideas and building this plan together.
