REDLAND City Council aims to get locals fit, healthy and happy this year.
It will launch a physical activity program which will take place in parks across Redlands this year.
It will cater for residents five to 65 plus and will be free.
The Redlands Healthy and Active Program is designed to get people moving and active.
Mayor Karen Williams said she was looking forward to seeing what group activities local health and fitness providers were able to offer.
“So far we’ve had a wonderful response to our call for expressions of interest from qualified professionals wishing to lead fun physical activities in outdoor spaces, from bushwalking to yoga and dancing,” she said.
“We won’t know what’s on offer until all the applications have been assessed but there is sure to be something for everyone.”
Group activities will be offered once a week in 10-week blocks to coincide with the first two school terms, with at least one program to be held in each of the 10 council divisions.
While the program will cater for all residents, specific activities are likely to target groups like mums with children, seniors and children.
Cr Williams said program was the perfect way for locals to get back into healthy habits, particularly after the excesses of the holiday season.
“All will be revealed with the official launch of the program,” she said.
The federal and Queensland governments, through the Embracing 2018 Legacy Program for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, provided funding for council to deliver the program.
