Welcome to Sport and Recreation Spatial
Sport and Recreation Spatial is a collaborative venture of Federation University and Victoria University. Sport and Recreation Spatial integrates data about sport and recreation participation, sport and recreation facilities, population demographics and population health from multiple data custodians.
Investigating sport and recreation participation and facilities, and health, for evidence-based decision making for the sport and recreation sector

- A national geographic information system for presenting spatial data relevant to all levels of the sport and recreation industry.
- An associated research program which can address questions of national and international significance
Key focuses
- Participation levels and trends
