Bowls Australia has officially launched its new strategic plan, the Bold Bowls | Fun Bowls, Action Agenda 2025-2028, outlining an ambitious four-year foundation phase designed to shape the sport’s long-term future.
In 2025, Bowls Australia worked together with State and Territory Association’s to develop an aligned strategic planning framework.
Bowls Tasmania has reviewed its previous Strategic Plan 2022-25 and has aligned it in timeframes and in areas of mutual priority with Bowls Australia’s Action Agenda 2025-28, whilst also ensuring that Tasmania’s needs are prioritised and actioned as required.
There are four key pillars within the plan to focus our improvement strategy:
- Play Well – including social and other bowls formats, National Integrity Framework and Child Safeguarding, school competitions.
- Win Well – including High Performance Plan, Junior Development Plan, coaching, championships, BPL, Gala Weeks, interstate tests, The Nationals and umpiring.
- Tell Our Story – including social media, communication processes, marketing, live streaming, digital technology, recognition of players and clubs.
- Grow Financially – including sponsorship, Government Grant Deeds, Licenses, grant submissions and affiliation models and processes.
Bowls Tasmania strongly believes that bowls can improve health and social outcomes for all Tasmanians through involvement in our sport and our aim going forward will be to get more Tasmanians playing bowls more regularly – be it socially or competitively.
A major focus for Bowls Tasmania moving forward will be to provide inclusive programs that increase the accessibility of bowls for all Tasmanians.
Bowls Tasmania will work together with its regions and clubs to ensure the successful and sustainable future of bowls in a rapidly changing Australian sport and active recreation landscape.
Bowls Tasmania Strategic Plan 2026-29
In addition to our normal activities, a lot of work will need to be done to achieve the vision outlined in the Strategic Plan.
A separate Operational Plan 2026-29 has been prepared which details actions to be taken to ensure the achievement of specific “Priorities and Actions” outlined in the Strategic Plan.
The Operational Plan outlines who is responsible for what actions, the time frame for such actions and performance indicators required to indicate the achievement of specific actions.
