<strong>Aktive</strong> <strong>Summary</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/20<strong>16</strong> 17<br />
MORE AUCKLANDERS MORE ACTIVE<br />
To enable more Aucklanders to be more active, we need to<br />
achieve greater value for every dollar invested as well as<br />
attract greater investment into a sector that’s important to<br />
both the regional economy and New Zealand’s sport and<br />
recreation sector.<br />
Coordination and leadership from <strong>Aktive</strong> has not only brought<br />
more investment, but also more collaboration across the sector,<br />
with successful local projects rolled out into other parts of<br />
Auckland and successful region-wide initiatives launched to<br />
address issues and opportunities facing the entire region.<br />
Allocation of Investment Funds<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> invested more than $9 million on behalf of its key<br />
strategic funders last year for community sport delivery,<br />
strategic leadership and regional service that reflects a number<br />
of interlinking strategies. These include the sector’s Auckland<br />
Sport & Recreation Strategic Action Plan (ASARSAP), Sport<br />
New Zealand’s Community Sport strategy, WaterSafety<br />
New Zealand’s Water Safety Sector Strategy and <strong>Aktive</strong>’s<br />
strategic plan. <strong>Aktive</strong>’s investment process ensures<br />
that delivery agents’ KPIs line up side by side to expand<br />
results on the ground.<br />
The successful value proposition<br />
to Sport NZ for community sport<br />
investment resulted in $18,392,000<br />
being confirmed for the Auckland<br />
region for the period 20<strong>16</strong>-2020.<br />
To follow are highlights of the work performed for Auckland’s<br />
communities and the sport and recreation sector<br />
by <strong>Aktive</strong> and our delivery partners in the <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>16</strong> year.<br />
HIGHLIGHTS FROM DELIVERY PARTNERS<br />
College Sport<br />
The past 12 months has seen College Sport continue to<br />
provide management, coordination and support to our 107<br />
member schools and over 100,000 students. We have met<br />
with all of our 45 sport delivery partners and conducted<br />
an extensive review process and consulted with a range<br />
of schools around every sport.<br />
Our aim is to ensure the<br />
competition structures we deliver<br />
remain relevant and continue<br />
to meet the needs of students.<br />
We are looking to make significant<br />
changes to a number of sports for<br />
the 2017 year that better reflect<br />
these needs.<br />
As part of the sanctioning process of our sport delivery<br />
partners, we are ensuring that all health and safety plans<br />
are updated and posted on the College Sport website.<br />
We are continuing to identify and remove barriers to<br />
participation and as part of this, are reviewing College Sport<br />
by-laws with the aim of simplifying how competitions are<br />
managed. We have also launched the College Sport Auckland<br />
App for schools, students, coaches, parents and sport partners<br />
to assist this process. All draws, results, venue locations<br />
and notifications are now provided through this App.<br />
In addition, we are producing a weekly newsletter to share<br />
the outstanding activity that is happening.<br />
However, it is clear that despite all the work that is being done<br />
participation numbers are not increasing and we will need<br />
to work even harder with delivery partners to find innovative<br />
solutions to attract non active students into a participation<br />
pathway. All of us in the sector will need to contribute to the<br />
Young Peoples Plan that <strong>Aktive</strong> is coordinating, agree on what<br />
part of the plan we will deliver and have faith in one another<br />
to effectively do that. Partnerships can sometimes be hard<br />
but we need to keep the needs of young people at the heart<br />
of all our decisions.<br />
More than $9 million<br />
was invested by <strong>Aktive</strong> on<br />
behalf of its key strategic<br />
funders last year for<br />
community sport delivery,<br />
strategic delivery and<br />
regional service.
