2. An earlier study, the ACT Indoor Sports Facility Report (released in January 2016), determined there were insufficient facilities available to basketball, futsal and gymnastics to meet current and future demand, which is why these sports were the primary focus of the current study. Each of these sports have high participation rates and utilise a large number of existing indoor sport facilities across the ACT. It is expected that by addressing the future facility needs of these sports, more opportunities will be available for smaller participation sports to access indoor facilities across the Territory.

3. The ACT Government continues to work with the sport and recreation industry regarding access to existing facilities and planning for future facility provision to support the participation of interested players. Particular effort has been made to upgrade existing indoor sport facilities at ACT Government schools to improve community access. Improvements at schools including Lake Tuggeranong College, Lyneham High School and Alfred Deakin High School have increased access opportunities for a number of sports (including basketball and futsal) to meet existing demand.

4. Any Government funded facility will be subject to Cabinet consideration.
