Sport and recreation

Image of adults and children playing beach cricketSport and recreation is vitally important to people's health and wellbeing. As Queensland experiences good weather and temperatures all year round, we expect to be outside all year. Due to Queensland’s high incidence of skin cancer, it is important for sport and recreation clubs/organisations/ areas to provide shade for people and to encourage sun safety. There needs to be a balance between enjoying the outdoors and protecting ourselves from ultraviolet radiation.
