IT'S TIME TO GET MOVING!
Burnie Moves is a 15 month project that aims to educate the Burnie community on the positive benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Sometimes it is taking the first step that is the hardest when you are starting a physical activity program or routine. Our website will provide you with the details of lots of active opportunities in Burnie. Always remember that having a healthy, active lifestyle can be easy and cheap.
