Feedback on draft Increasing Aucklanders’ participation in sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 |
|
Resolution number FR/2019/6 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson A Baker, seconded by Member B Crompton: That the Franklin Local Board: a) endorse the draft Increasing Aucklanders’ participation in sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 and provides the following feedback for consideration of the Environment and Community Committee:
i. variance in community capacity variances across the region is not adequately recognised in the plan, with assumptions that all organisations and communities have the capacity to understand and fully or partially deliver programmes and initiatives. A more flexible and adaptive delivery methodology should be available that enables appropriate delivery agencies to have greater involvement than they currently do.
ii. the methodology and timing for assessing the delivery approach is not adequately addressed. The Franklin Local Board suggests clearer and more comprehensive monitoring, measuring and reporting to enable greater understanding of the effectiveness of programmes, initiatives and delivery within communities. These should be adaptable to reflect local variations.
