Blackland PR worked with the region’s sporting codes and schools to form a collective campaign that requested Councils review and lower their costs to make playing sport affordable. Through sustained media pressure centred on the 2023 local government elections\, the campaign ultimately won a region-wide independent review into Council sports fees.
