Gulf Savannah and Tablelands

The Gulf Savannah and Atherton Tablelands Region has a strong and sustainability affinity with sport. From remote communities to rural and regional centres, one of the main connectors is sport so it follows that Sport should play an important role especially in the COVID19 Recovery community plans. ACCL uses sport to drive positive community benefit and has partnered with organizations within the region to develop and deliver unique programs that works combine sport with social outcomes that drive positive social change through sport participation, leadership, learning and empowerment programs.

ACCL has a range of programs that can be designed to meet your individual organizations targets and outcomes including Aspire Schools, Sports Fun Zone, Deadly 5’s and Empower Me

We specialize in developing innovative sport for good programs that can promote safe spaces to address

  1. How to use sport to activate in inactive members of the community and promote wellbeing for all, at all ages
  2. Support and promote Lifelong Learning Opportunities
  3. Innovative sport for good programmes promoting gender equality, in particular engaging women and girls in sports projects can address issues such as sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and female leadership. The popularity of sport among men and boys can also make it an effective way to engage them on such topics.
