Make A Move, Your Way: uncovering ways to be active on the Peninsula

In partnership with Belgravia Leisure, clubs and community members, the Shire is pleased to launch Make a Move, Your Way. A locally created campaign promoting the many ways we move, connect with people and with nature, across the Peninsula.

There's no single way to be active – and this November we’re celebrating every way people choose to move. Whether you’re dancing in your lounge room, walking the dog, joining a local group, or trying something new - Make A Move, Your Way is about finding an activity that feels right for you. 

We caught up with locals and Belgravia Leisure to hear how they get active – from social sport, to recreation centres, to enjoying the Peninsula bays.

A place for everyone
