Sunshine Coast's Vision for Lifelong Sport

At Juxta Careers, we're passionate about forging pathways that connect individuals to meaningful opportunities. The recent gathering at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct on 21 May 2025 exemplifies this spirit, highlighting a community-driven approach to reimagining sport and recreation in Queensland.

A Community-Centric Approach to Sport

The Sunshine Coast event brought together local stakeholders to envision the future of sport and recreation. Key themes included:

  • Strengthening School-Club Connections: Emphasizing the importance of integrating schools with local clubs to foster lifelong engagement in physical activity.

  • Empowering Coaches and Teachers: Focusing on delivering positive experiences to encourage sustained participation.

  • Innovative Volunteer Programs: Introducing concepts like "volunteer passports" and youth accreditation to recognize and motivate community involvement.

  • Inclusive and Resilient Facilities: Designing spaces that cater to diverse needs and withstand environmental challenges.

  • Leveraging Technology: Utilizing outdoor recreation and sport tech to boost youth participation.

These initiatives align with the broader goals of the Queensland Pathways Blueprint, aiming to create coordinated and connected approaches to developing talent and encouraging participation across the state.

Aligning with Juxta's Mission

Juxta Careers is committed to facilitating connections between individuals and organizations that value inclusion, innovation, and lifelong engagement. The Sunshine Coast's proactive approach mirrors our mission to support diverse pathways and foster environments where everyone can thrive.

Looking Ahead: Brisbane 2032 and Beyond

As Queensland prepares for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, initiatives like these ensure that the legacy extends beyond the events themselves. By focusing on community involvement and sustainable practices, we're collectively building a future where sport and recreation are accessible and beneficial to all.
