Sport and Recreation portfolio spokesperson Cr Vince Habermann said the group was vital in assisting Council with its community engagement process.
“The establishment of the BRSRAG supports Council’s commitment to engage with its community and to acknowledge the critical role recreation, sport and leisure plays in the well being of our community,” he said.
“The BRSRAG members are appointed for a four-year term, with the previous group coming together in 2016. ,” he said.
“Members are made up of people from various community groups, including representatives from Council, local schools and sporting codes.”
