Te Puke Recreation and Aquatic Centre Feasibility Study

2.6 Population Projections – Age BreakdownsAn understanding of current and future age breakdown of a community is also essential when planning forboth facility and programme design. This is important when developing a realistic operational plan, as themajority of indoor recreation facilities (aquatic or recreation) have youth as one of their major user groups.Although all age ranges use aquatic facilities and recreation centres, those aged 0 – 39 are traditionally thedominant users of such facilities. The combined age bracket of 0 -39 is projected to increase slightly in Te Pukeand in most of the surrounding areas (Table 6).Table 6: Projected Catchment Age BreakdownsYear at 30 June 2006 2011 2016 2021 2026 2031AreaAge (years)Ohauiti-Ngapeke 0-14 Years 120 150 180 200 210 22015-39 Years 170 190 200 220 250 27040-64 Years 280 300 300 310 310 31065 Years and over 90 120 150 190 220 260Total All Ages 670 750 830 910 990 1060Upper Papamoa 0-14 Years 460 450 460 470 470 48015-39 Years 590 640 640 680 690 70040-64 Years 840 950 980 940 920 92065 Years and over 180 240 340 470 610 720Total All Ages 2,070 2,280 2,420 2,560 2,690 2,810Paengaroa 0-14 Years 250 240 230 230 230 23015-39 Years 280 280 280 280 290 29040-64 Years 300 330 360 360 340 35065 Years and over 90 100 130 160 210 230Total All Ages 930 950 1,000 1,030 1,070 1,090Rangiuru 0-14 Years 550 530 500 480 440 42015-39 Years 610 570 560 550 540 54040-64 Years 760 820 810 790 760 71065 Years and over 170 230 300 380 450 510Total All Ages 2,090 2,150 2,180 2,200 2,200 2,180Pongakawa 0-14 Years 700 700 690 690 670 64015-39 Years 960 980 960 930 940 91040-64 Years 1,130 1,250 1,310 1,330 1,270 1,27065 Years and over 280 350 470 600 780 910Total All Ages 3,080 3,290 3,430 3,550 3,660 3,730Te Puke West 0-14 Years 710 680 710 750 760 75015-39 Years 1,000 1,040 1,070 1,110 1,120 1,06040-64 Years 920 1000 1050 1050 1090 118065 Years and over 410 460 550 640 750 860Total All Ages 3,040 3,180 3,370 3,,550 3,720 3,85011
