SHOROC commissioned Thompson Tregear Pty Ltd to undertake a regional sportsgrounds analysis in 2005. This was in response to the desire of the four member Councils to work more strategically in planning for the sustainable development and management of sportsgrounds within the region. The Final Report was presented to the SHOROC Executive at their meeting on 24 August 2006 and has been referred to member Councils for their information.

The SHOROC Executive acknowledges the important role of the Manly Warringah Pittwater (MWP) Sporting Union within the region, particularly in relation to the sportsgrounds allocation process. The Sporting Union Executive was consulted in the development of the Report and the SHOROC Executive has also held informal discussions to consider the principles of the Tregear recommendations.

The next meeting of the SHOROC Executive and MWP Sporting Union Executive members will be scheduled in November 2006.

SHOROC Councils, Clubs NSW and Northern Beaches Health Promotion are working together to increase the awareness amongst young people and their parents about their responsibilities for safe partying.

The No Regrets Safe Party Tips booklet was launched on behalf of the SHOROC Executive by the Mayor of Pittwater, Clr Alex McTaggart, at the Pittwater Youth Forum on 10 November 2005 and will be distributed to school leavers and young people throughout the region.

Rather than discouraging young people having fun, Councils are promoting strategies for teenagers and parents to create safer environments for young people to celebrate.

The booklet reinforces the work of the NSW Police and Education providers in presenting the key messages relating to safe partying.
