Sport and Recreation Spatial – Victorian University in collaboration with Federation University

Historically, the capacity of the sport and recreation industry to make evidence-based decisions to improve participation has been severely limited by a lack of access to accurate and reliable data and associated capacity for analysis. Sport and Recreation Spatial is a collaborative program of research conducted by Victoria University and Federation University. The Sport and Recreation Spatial research team undertake research and analyse data on sport and recreation participation, facilities and health outcomes, to support evidence-based planning and decision making in the sport and recreation sector.
