Resolution
number PKTPP/2019/29
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson J Fairey, seconded by Member
E Kumar:
That
the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a)
provide the
following feedback on the draft Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation
in Sport: Investment Plan for consideration of the Environment and Community
Committee:
i)
note that the plan
appears to emphasise organised and affiliated sporting codes and would like
to see investment plans for active individual and team recreation (including
informal sporting activities) strengthened.
ii)
support 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.
iii)
note 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.
iv)
note 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.
v)
support the
emphasis on youth and female participation and low socio-economic deprivation
areas in key shift 2.
vi)
consider low
participant communities in low socio-economic circumstances should be a high
priority for sport investment.
vii)
consider it
important that increasing women’s participation in the major sport
codes is supported through this plan.
viii)
consider
it important that there is a clear understanding of the diversity of
experience and interests of ethnic groups when considering investment.
ix)
support
the equity approach of prioritising investment towards groups with the lowest
access to sports opportunities.
x)
support
the set of principles to prioritise projects for investment, noting that the
priority weighting may need to change over time
xi)
support
investment in a range of multi-functional facilities to meet identified
capacity demands.
b)
thank John Adams for his
attendance and work.
