Building on outstanding community participation over the past years, the 2026 program is set to deliver an expanded range of activities designed to inspire residents of all ages and abilities to discover the joy of staying active.
The initiative brings together a diverse mix of opportunities, from getting active in nature and engaging in the arts to trying something completely new or joining a welcoming community group.
Moira Shire Council’s chair administrator Graeme Emonson highlighted the program's growing momentum and its positive impact across the community.
“The enthusiasm we’ve seen for Move Moira, Get Active in April over the past few years has been incredible and we're delighted to expand the program even further in 2026," Dr Emonson said.
"This initiative celebrates movement in all its forms — it's about connecting with neighbours, exploring what’s available locally and finding activities that bring joy.
“Whether you’re interested in gentle chair-based fitness, high-energy dance, croquet, or wheelchair tennis, our program demonstrates just how many fantastic options exist right on our doorstep.
“Research shows that just 30 minutes of daily movement can significantly improve your wellbeing and we’re inviting every resident to embrace an active April.”
The program will include family fun day events, holiday programs tailored for families, activities and social opportunities designed for seniors, community sporting events and other activities inclusive of all skill levels and abilities.
Central to the campaign are four free family fun days:
Cobram: Thursday, April 9, 10am to noon at Federation Park;
Yarrawonga: Tuesday, April 14, 10am to noon at Sacred Heart Primary School;
Nathalia: Wednesday, April 15, 10am to noon at Nathalia Recreation Reserve; and
Numurkah: Friday, April 17, 10am to noon at Apex Park.
