National Aquatic Facilities Strategy

The National Aquatics Facilities Strategy provides guidance to assist in the development of a transformed network of aquatic facilities across Aotearoa New Zealand that are:

appropriately scaled
more financially and environmentally sustainable
universally accessible
best located and designed to meet the needs of the communities they serve.

The goal of this strategy is to inform the organisations that contribute to the network provision of aquatic facilities with the following information to help them to make good evidence-based investment decisions:

What aquatic facilities are currently available and where they are located.
What needs the current aquatic facilities fulfil.
What the current aquatic facility needs of our communities are.
How the current aquatic facility needs will track in the near future – out to 2038.
Who to involve in the planning and decision-making process.
Insights on quality aquatic facility planning practice.
