In 2001 the community was invited to attend a series of community planning workshops that were held to focus on the future direction of sport and the development of the ward. This steering committee was established with volunteers who attended those workshops. This steering committee feels very strongly about developing a community plan that refl ects the beliefs and aspirations that residents and ratepayers have for the future of this ward - the area they live, work and play in, to 2014.

  • Thames Coromandel District Sport and Active Recreation Plan
    Thames Coromandel District Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2019-2029 Thames Coromandel District Council Private Bag 1001, Thames, 3540 515 Mackay Street, Thames Ph: 07 868 0200 Email: [email protected] Executive summary Sport, recreation, play and physical activity has a crucial role to play in building connected, healthy and vibrant communities. New Zealanders’, individually and collectively, value the role physical activity plays in their lives. More specifically in the Thames Coromandel District 83% of adults (18 years and older) feel that being physically active in the great outdoors is an important part of New Zealanders’ lives. Thames Coromandel District has a strong Sport and Active recreation sector, where opportunities are provided for the resident population of the district and also a large influx of summer visitors into the area. Thames Coromandel has a unique combination of future challenges including rising water levels, significant and increasing proportion of the resident population of retirement age and large fluctuations in seasonal populations. All of these factors contribute towards the need for considered planning to ensure future provision of sport and active recreation opportunities meets the future needs of the community. Thames Coromandel District Council and Sport Waikato work together to support the provision of sport, recreation, play and physical activity opportunities for the Thames Coromandel community. Working together, both organisations recognise a need to deliver a coordinated, collaborative and clear plan to lead, enable and guide future provision of sport, recreation and physical activity opportunities for the people of the Thames Coromandel District. The Thames Coromandel District Sport and Active Recreation Plan (The Plan) is designed to provide direction for future investment and focus for both the Thames Coromandel District Council, Sport Waikato and providers of sport in the district.
