We aim to provide more New Zealanders with better places for play, active recreation, and sport. By doing this we will grow participation. Our goal is for sport and recreation facilities to be fit-for-purpose, well utilised and future-proof. To achieve this, we support sport and recreation organisations across New Zealand with better planning and designing of sports and recreation facilities.
To guide smart decision-making and investment in play, active recreation and sport spaces and places, the framework includes a set of 10 interrelated principles and seven-step plan. For anyone planning or making decisions about spaces and places, using the framework will help ensure they will be well-used, sustainable, universally accessible and seen as good value investment.
Today sport and recreation clubs and organisations face increasing financial and regulatory pressure. This pressure, coupled with increased expectations from participants, aging club facilities and declining numbers of volunteers, requires us all to think innovatively about how some sport and recreation is delivered.
This guide has been developed to share learnings from previous hub projects across the country. Many of these projects have been collaborations between organisations and the communities they serve and, in many cases, they have resulted in sustainable, increased participation.
