Interested in becoming a service provider?
Mackay Regional Council will be seeking expressions of interest from physical activity providers for its Activate Mackay Region program for the financial year commencing July 2027.
The program aims to provide opportunities for community participation in physical activity throughout the region. The provider must be able to track participation and provide data to council for reporting. They must also have a way to register participants and promote the program. Ideally, the provider is based in the Mackay region and can offer both in-person and online sessions. Providers must also follow council processes and protocols where required.
The Activate Mackay Region program is subject to funding.
Activities will take place between August 2027 and July 2028.
Fill out the form below to express your interest for the Activate Mackay Region program.
