Active Recreation and Sport Strategy

The Active Recreation and Sport Strategy was developed by us, Sport New Zealand and Sport Northland, working in partnership and talking with the community. 

It looks at the things we do for fitness, fun or social connection - to participate or to get our heart rates up.

From biking, bowling, fishing and paddling through to our many formal sporting codes, our people love getting out and being active.

The aim of this strategy is to increase participation, improve the quality of the experience or the participant, and improve the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the facility network.

We have included recommendations that are comprehensive, apply across the District and across codes and facility types.

Sports field supply and demand study

The Sports Field Supply and Demand Study is an outcome from the recommendations within the Active Recreation and Sports Strategy.

The foundation of the study was to quantify the actual sports field capacity and the hours demanded for competition and training by code.  We would then implement a plan for sports field improvements (drainage and floodlight installation).

In addition to this, the plan was also to identify if there was a need for additional sports fields or additional artificial turf (if / when required) over the next 10 years.
