The Active Women(40+years) Program includes an 8 week program which is offering sessions in yoga, gym, outdoor fitness, Pilates and boxing. This program is due to commence on 16th April

Women who wish to register still have time to do so as the program start date for some of the activities has been extended.

Noosa Council has received numerous applications from sport and recreation providers to partner with Council to deliver next year’s 12-week Get Out, Get Active program for young women.

Council is looking to include a range of activities in the new program, which aims to provide young women aged 18 to 24 with access to low-cost activities to help them stay active.

Council is partnering with for not-for-profit and commercial groups to provide the following activities: yoga; stand-up paddle boarding; gym (weights and cardio);boxing;group fitness (outdoor);pilates; kayaking; and martial arts / self-defence.

Council compiled the list of activities based on a survey of young women interested in taking part in the 12-week program which will begin in February next year.

This is a great opportunity for local sport and recreation businesses and not-for-profit groups to partner with Council to make the Get Out, Get Active program as successful as its innovative Active Mums Program.

Data shows that only 39% of Queensland women in the 18-24-year age group are physically active. With no Noosa-based physical activity programs specifically tailored to young women, the Get Out, Get Active program will fill an important gap.

The Queensland Government has provided a $10,040 grant to the Noosa Get Out, Get Active program to get women and girls active for life. Council will contribute an additional $4950 to the program.

Partnering providers will be notified by the end of October. Email Council’s Community Development team on commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au for more information or any questions about the program.
