Peninsula Leisure’s Community Contribution
Creating healthier, more connected communities
At Peninsula Leisure, our vision is simple: to improve lives by inspiring activity and connection.
We exist to create your place to be active, happy and connected, and every day our team works to make recreation, health and wellbeing opportunities more accessible for our community.
We re-invest in programs, partnerships and initiatives that remove barriers, increase participation and create positive outcomes for people across Frankston.
Expanding our community impact
Our Can Swim water safety initiative delivered our two-year target of more than 6,000 water safety attendances. View Can Swim Page.
Through our 30-20-2: Choose What You Want To Do campaign and Digital Hub, we are encouraging the community to move more, understand the benefits of physical activity and incorporate the National Physical Activity Guidelines into everyday life. View 30-20-2 Digital Hub.
Removing barriers to participation
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to access recreation, health and wellbeing experiences.
Through subsidised memberships, free community programs, partnerships and initiatives, Peninsula Leisure reinvested over $400,00 in community outcomes during the year, helping create greater access for people who may otherwise face barriers to participation.
Active Pathways
In partnership with Reclink Australia, our Active Pathways program provides supported access to Peninsula Leisure facilities for community members experiencing disadvantage.
The program offers heavily subsidised memberships at PARC and visit passes to PINES, supporting people who may face barriers including financial hardship, disability, social isolation, housing insecurity or other challenges impacting access to health and wellbeing opportunities.
By connecting participants with local support agencies, Active Pathways helps people take meaningful steps towards improved health, confidence and community connection. View Active Pathways Membership info.
Our people make the difference
Our people are at the heart of creating positive community experiences. During the year, we launched our three-year People Strategy and were recognised with the Outstanding Employer Award at the Frankston Business Chamber Awards, reflecting our commitment to creating a safe, supportive and people-first workplace.
More than a pool or gym
Our latest Outcomes Survey reinforced the important role our facilities play in the community. Aquatic and recreation centres are much more than places to exercise – they are essential community spaces that support physical health, mental wellbeing, social connection and quality of life.
