  • Facility Plan
    MANAWATU - WHANGANUI REGIONAL SPORT FACILITY PLAN SUMMARY REPORT MARCH 2018 Forward – Sport New Zealand Sport New Zealand aims to get more young people and adults into sport and active recreation and produce more winners on the worlds sporting stage. It does this through its strategic approach for Community Sport and High Performance Sport outcomes. Spaces, places, and facilities for sport is one of five strategic priorities in the Community Sport Strategy with a goal to develop and sustain a world leading community sport system where the need of the participant and athlete is the focus. With leadership from the network of Regional Sports Trusts, Sport NZ is actively supporting better decision making and investment for future sporting spaces and places through a collaborative regional approach with local and regional government, education, Iwi, funders, national and regional sports organisations. The drivers for taking a regional approach to facility planning can be one or more of the following: • The desire of funders to invest wisely in identified priority projects that will make the most impact • An ageing network of facilities needing refurbishment, re-purposing, replacement or removal • Changing demographics within a community, such as an increase in the population. • Changing participation trends nationally and within a region requiring new types of facilities, or a new use of an existing facility • Increasing expectations of users and user groups • A growing acknowledgement that there is a hierarchy of facilities – regional, sub-regional and local – and that regional collaboration is the only fair and reasonable way to build and manage regional and sub-regional facilities.
