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.
Co-design is putting aside our assumptions and instead asking people what they really want and need. It means working alongside people and communities to define solutions that will work for them.
We talked to local authorities, funding agencies, government departments, regional and national sports bodies, and overseas counterparts and created this Sporting Facilities Framework.
Find out how to use the six-step plan and apply the principles to your work plans and processes.
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.
