Thanks for coming to our newly designed website.

We’ve updated our site to make it more accessible, inclusive, relevant and user centric.

Most of the play, active recreation and sport resources and information you’re used to finding are still here. And they will be a lot easier to access. 

We asked users across the sector about what they wanted from our website (thank you for all your input) and we have responded with new user-centric navigation and accessible features. You’ve now got great options to get to information fast. From the home page, you can browse by role or topic, use the ‘how we can help’ menu, use the search function, or go direct to the top-level navigation and click through the tabs.

Our new site means we can make sure you see our up-to-date news and information easily. We can feature the important stuff that we know people involved in the play, active recreation and sport sector should know about.

New content sections

Our new site has some great new content sections:

Kaupapa Māori section with landing pages in Te Reo

Te Tiriti o Waitangi page written in Te Reo and English

Dedicated sections to Play, Physical education, Active recreation, and Sport

Archive - we’ve archived our older resources, which you can still search for. (If there’s something you can’t locate, contact us and we’ll see if we can provide it directly)
