Resolution
number HM/2019/10
MOVED by Chairperson S Henderson, seconded by Member W
Flaunty:
That the Henderson-Massey
Local Board:
a)
Endorses the draft Increasing
Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan
b)
Provides the following feedback on the
draft Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan
for consideration of the Environment and Community Committee:
i.
Supports the shift in investment
approach to a focus on community participation in sports with the three
target areas of emerging sports, high participation sports and low
participation communities.
ii.
Notes that for local boards,
implementation of key shifts 2 and 3 particularly will impact on existing
long-standing relationships with local sporting organisations and the funding
of existing local facilities, and that change needs to be managed well for
success.
iii.
Notes the importance of investment to
make the most of existing sports assets, and encourages a continued and
well-supported programme of sand-slitting sports fields
iv.
Notes that recreation activities are
just important as sport activities and more people participate in recreation
than organised sport.
v.
Supports the emphasis on youth and
female participation and low socio-economic deprivation areas in key shift 2.
vi.
Considers low participant communities
in low socio-economic circumstances should be a high priority for sport
investment.
vii.
Considers it important that increasing
women’s participation in the major sport codes is supported through
this plan.
viii.
Considers it important that there is a
clear understanding of the diversity of experience and interests of ethnic
groups when considering investment.
ix.
Supports the equity approach of
prioritising investment towards groups with the lowest access to sports
opportunities.
