Port Hedland Leisure achieves AUSactive quality accreditation

In recognition of its achievements in providing members and the community with the highest level of care and guidance in health, fitness and wellbeing, Port Hedland Leisure has received AUSactive quality accreditation.

The Town of Port Hedland business unit has been recognised as meeting the requirements of the AUSactive National Quality Business Framework, endorsed by the Health and Fitness Industry Standards Council.

Welcoming the accreditation, particularly following the challenges faced by the industry during the pandemic, Port Hedland Mayor, Peter Carter stated “I’m pleased Port Hedland Leisure’s commitment to providing fitness for all has been recognised through an AUSactive quality accreditation, one of a select few regional fitness facilities to have achieved this milestone.

“In the last three years, we’ve seen one million visits to (Port Hedland) Leisure’s facilities despite constant challenges to operations as the pandemic unfolded. This is thanks to the hard work, dedication and passion of (Port Hedland) Leisure’s tenacious leadership and staff."

The accreditation delivers on the responses as outlined in the Town’s Strategic Community Plan 2022-2032.

Mayor Carter added “Council are committed to delivering on the Town’s strategic responses, including that facilities and community infrastructure such as Wanangkura Stadium, South Hedland Aquatic Centre and the Gratwick Aquatic and Fitness Centre are well maintained, managed and fit-for-purpose to provide a range of opportunities for active lifestyles.

“Port Hedland Leisure is set to build on the success of this accreditation with an exciting future on the horizon, as the South Hedland Integrated Sports Hub starts to take shape with the incorporation of a bigger gym, new aquatics facility and much more to service our growing population.”
