Environmental Sustainability Guidelines
Environmental Sustainability Guidelines
for Spaces and Places
Sport NZ has identified the need for clear, practical guidelines to help Territorial Authorities and sport and recreation organisations navigate the range of issues relating to environmental sustainability that affect spaces and places for play, active recreation and sport (referred to as spaces and places) in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Sustainability is a broad and complex topic. These guidelines apply specifically to the environmentally sustainable inception, design, construction and operation of spaces and places. They have been prepared for Sport NZ by a team of consultants and a project steering group selected from industry stakeholders, including tangata whenua. They are intended to help organisations identify and adopt sustainability measures that will:
- help to improve present operations
- support decision-making for future investment.
