Active hunt

The call has gone out for sport and other recreation providers keen to partner with Noosa Council to deliver next year’s 12-week Get Out Get Active Program for young women.
Project officer Edwina Griffin said the council was looking to include a range of activities in the new program, which aimed to provide young women aged 18 to 24 with access to low-cost activities to help them stay active.
Ms Griffin said the council was looking for not-for-profit and commercial groups to provide yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, gym, boxing, group fitness (outdoor), pilates, kayaking and martial arts/self-defence.
The 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.
The Queensland Government provided a $10,040 grant to the Noosa Get Out Get Active Program to get women and girls active for life. The council will contribute an additional $4950 to the program.
