The Auckland<br />
Approach to<br />
Community Sport<br />
Vision<br />
A world-class community sport system co-created for Aucklanders.<br />
Background<br />
The introduction of a ‘World Class Community Sport<br />
System’ into Auckland brings a shift in thinking about<br />
how Community Sport is deployed across a complex<br />
environment. Auckland is home to 34% of NZ’s<br />
population and is its fastest growing city with large<br />
targeted populations: 275,000+ young people, 142,767<br />
Māori, 307,000 Asians (including 171,500 Chinese) and<br />
the world’s largest Polynesian population (194,958). It<br />
is complex and diverse, with many challenges, but also<br />
with unparalleled opportunities to increase participation.<br />
The assignment of limited resources in such a<br />
challenging environment demands a targeted and unified<br />
approach towards equitable solutions. The primary focus<br />
of The Auckland Approach to Community Sport is young<br />
people (5-18 years old) for whom we are committed<br />
to providing safe, engaging and stage-appropriate<br />
opportunities. We will work through others and empower<br />
them to attract and retain participants, thereby creating<br />
a lasting legacy (system build approach).<br />
We are focused on co-creating an approach that<br />
allows for flexibility, responsiveness to local needs, and<br />
scalability to suit existing and new partners, and to<br />
encourage them to align their resources. The Auckland<br />
Approach to Community Sport allows for this.<br />
