Baw Baw Shire Sporting Walk of FamePrint Page

The Sporting Walk of Fame is Baw Baw Shire Council`s recognition of outstanding achievements in sport for local people.

The Walk of Fame celebrates local sportspeople who made an impact during their careers through a series of plaques in Warragul’s Civic Park. 

The Baw Baw Shire Sporting Walk of Fame was created in 1999 after a community committee was developed by then Baw Baw Shire Council Recreation Officer, the late Mike Goyne.

The committee’s objective was to look at a way to turn the 2000 Sydney Olympic Torch relay stop in the region into a significant event. Linking the Olympics with their interest in the ongoing recognition of the Baw Baw Shire’s champion athletes, the committee created the Baw Baw Shire Sporting Walk of Fame.

To qualify for the Walk of Fame, a person must have resided in the Baw Baw Shire for a given period of time, and have achieved great success on the elite sporting stage.
