The Town of Port Hedland has a dedicated Club
Development Officer to assist sporting and recreation
clubs and organisations to develop and thrive in the
local Hedland community.
The Port Hedland Sport, Recreation and Fitness Guide
provides the community with information and contacts
for local sport and recreation clubs and fitness groups.
“Active people are more connected to their community
and increasing physical activity levels benefits not only
individuals and families both physically and mentally,
but the community as a whole.
Active communities encourage people to participate
in a range of physical activities and social events that
support active living and community connections.
This is where sport and recreation clubs and fitness
groups come in. They are the lifeblood of communities
and in many ways, clubs are a focal point for
communities, whether they are in the city or country.
Research shows sports clubs and community
organisations help to develop social capital and are
good barometers of community strength and health” –
the Department of Sport and Recreation.
Port Hedland offers a wide variety of sport, fitness
and recreation activities all year round with our winter
season running f rom April to September each year and
our summer season running from October through to
March of the following year.
